It's been a long and pricey road. So many hours of grinding, non-stop gil farming, and devotion to gathering my maps. I have been really into collecting minions since seeing the cait sith doll as the pre-order bonus.Each minion, even the cash shop ones, are tied to special memories from lucky dungeon runs to random gifts from my hubby. I even recall the moments where I got my 1st baby raptor or tiny rat. The world was new, fates were so mysterious. I had no idea how to play the game or what was going on. I just remember seeing people gathering around a vendor after a fate and I went to go check out what was going on.
Other minions, like onion knight, were beyond frustrating to obtain, but it felt so good to earn it! I spend two months of doing a CT once a day until I won one. I lost so many rolls. There were so many soul crushing groups and all the wipes.... the wipes! It was a true triumph and the hardest minion to obtain, for me personally!
Then, minions like my assassin fry and littlefoot, were given to me by my friends in-game. We often give each other rare minions to help each other out. I have a handful of minions that carry deep sentimental value, a token of friendship from people I care a lot about.
I remember gambling on my nutkin. I proceeded to buy 14 unhidden maps in a row and on the 14th, I saw the word "nutkin" scroll up on my screen only to look at my chat box to verify I was not seeing things. I freaked out so hard! I think I almost flipped my flimsy desk I shot up so fast.
These minions have always been so special to me. They are like a little memento of good and bad times alike.
I hope you guys can find as much joy in minions as I have throughout my time in FFXIV.

Minions locked to plushies, OSTs and 2014 events, means I'll never hit 145/145. Would be nice if they were put in the cash shop after a while. Not everyone likes to order stuff from Digital River and it being stuck for a week at customs, who'll be happy to charge you 30$ extra for it.
My Type-0 HD collectors 99$ US + 35$ US shipping + 20$ customs fees, means I paid pretty much 200$ Canadian for what I thought would be 120$ at worst, maybe 130$ with shipping. Not gonna buy plushies for that reason. Ship from Canada please. -

Congrats. I love the minions in this game, and while I don't really go out of my way to collect them, I take them when I can get them. I can't imagine how much effort you had to put in to get them all....

How much money total did you spend to get the pets that can't be obtained in-game?
-
10-28-2015, 01:01 PMDragonSlayer45
Oh, jesus.
And I thought I had a lot of minions. Anyway, congrats. -

Nice work! Also a quick question, how did you get high rolls on the CT minions like Puff of Darkness? I can never roll more than 30 myself.

Congrats. Definitely something to be proud of. Color me jealous haha.

10-28-2015, 01:41 PMzosiaHmm, If I had to guess, I think north of $200 between sound tracks, art books, and plushies.Quote:

I am also an avid fan of the music and art of the FF franchise, so I don't mind owning all the things these minions usually come in. I like to have sound tracks to most of the FF games that have them. I even went to distant worlds because I like FF music so much.
My hubby also loves the tracks as well since he is an audio engineer.
well, it took me like two months of farming ST to get onion knight. I think that was the minion I worked the hardest for. The puff of darkness was a pet I was really lucky with. I won puff while farming the TT card. Eventually, I got the TT card months later, but I stopped farming for the card and just decided to get it when ever it happened to come to meQuote:

Aww cool!!
In the first half of 2.0 I was just like you, I had a friend to go minion hunt with too!
Now I know I will not get those binded to buy OSTs or plushies, even though I'm getting the Curbies for my sister this Christmas, but I like to collect those I can nonetheless :3
Congratulation again! -

Congratsies :D
I am a bit jealous of you. I will never get those minions outside the game + cash shop sadly, I cannot afford to buy them.
But other than that, I try to get them all as well. I love minions and mounts, they are my end game, hehehe <3
Happy to see them all collected by a person (you) :P
