[Suggestion] Please add a Maine Coon minion!

As the title states, I am suggesting that some of the resources devoted to minion creation in the future are allocated to the creation of a Maine Coon minion. It could be a reward from...pretty much anywhere, really. Just please don't gate it behind ranked PvP!


Since there isn't a 'Maine' in Etheirys, to our knowledge, then some other regional name would likely be better suited to replace it. Given their size and fluffy fur they're well suited to frigid regions. Perhaps their in-game equivalent could be native to Garlemald or Coerthas, as those regions are described as being on the cold side.


For those not in the know, here's a couple of pictures of a Maine Coon:

As a bonus, here's a couple of pictures of my own kitty:

If this seems like a bit of a random or obscure request...the idea came to me as a result of my own Maine Coon frequently sitting on my lap as I play FFXIV. Plus, cats are great - and that's as good enough a reason as any to add more feline minions!

Aaah they are such beautiful cats, yes I would love this so much <3 I'm from the Uk, did think about searching for a Maine Coon breeder but there's a lot of rescue cats that need more love, so I prefer to adopt rescues now and give them a home :) There is not enough cat minions for this crazy cat lady :p

bonus cat pic (or is it two cats? :D ), Blaze enjoys watching my Miqo alt and her Mameshiba XD

I don't know, I'm not really convinced. I think I need more examples. You said you have one of these breeds as well, aren't your feline friends just as good as an example as the ones you posted?

This thread needs more Maine Coon pictures.

For reasons.

Especially the giant ones.

Look at those absolute units.

Majestic. Absolute. Units.

Please feel free to post more pictures of the cats to make it easier for the devs to find references.

I don't know if it's this thread or because my work browser already knows I love Maine Coons but this regal unit is on my front page of reddit

So regal.

As a miqo'te player, I approve of this idea.

let's go for both !

Make it 5.0's Ixion/Tamamo-no-Gozen. Give us the mount, the minion, and the ears.

Give us an Eorzean cat Cafe event next Moonfire faire.

Also, Norwegian Forest Cats!

Omg we need more cats in general, like look how cute my princess Scrump is

Awww, Tora-jiro!

I wholeheartedly support the idea of MOAR CATS. Although if we get a Maine coon inspired mount, I fear I will need to relegate the basement of my in-game home into a litterbox >_<

Maine Coons were originally used as ratters on ships so obviously they'd come from Limsa Lominsa!

Her name's Livia!

Since we can interact with some of our minions, the maine coon's interaction needs to be that we pick them up and their fluff spills gloriously over our arms, clipping be damned.

Omg Theo she is beautiful <3

Thank you for sharing Theo, she's an absolute beauty! First pic made me smile "stop playing games and pet meeeee!" She belongs on Reddit's Supermodel cats sub :D

As a tabby owner, I was overjoyed when a tabby cat minion came out. I support this for all the people with their coons. :3

I fully support their addition! They have the right set of exaggerated feline features to fit well into a fantasy game.

Absolutely agree with this petition. Please add these absolute units of majesticness to the game!

I'm still very eager to see them added to the game as a minion and a mount!

I agree, we could always use more cat minions.

Awww, they're so beautiful.

Signin' this. Gimme

This I fully support the cat pics are beautiful! We have four and one is a Norwegian forest cat they are also really majestic.

Please more cat minions and mounts ^O^

You do realize you'll have to /pat the cat at least once a day to keep it from getting hairballs and covering your nice Jet Black Dye glamour with fur, right?

An acceptable necro! (Also, petition to give cat minions meowing sfx)

I will compromise on a Nekopara collab that gives me a Coconut minion.

If we add a Maine Coon to the game, in any form, there will be tufts of lint everywhere. There will be murder mitten prints on our helmets. There will be "play with me NOW "merowwww" exactly when your queue pops. There will be full speed accelerations that end on top of the refrigerator. There will be endless staring as we carve the steak, then equally endless nose-up and gone, because it wasn't diced ham, even though his highness the furface KNEW what it was by nose, half an hour ago. There will be repeated full-scale snooze right where Purr knows we walk, followed by fully indulged insult when we walk there. Worst of all, the "I wanna go outside" never ends, until you take his highness outside whereupon you get this look, like, "why are we outside; the food is INSIDE..?"

I vote no on Maine Coons.

Signed, Survivor...

I want one as a minion and a pet.

Maine Coon + Hooman = Hrothgar

As always, I appreciate the lovely cat pictures! Honestly, more feline minions and mounts in general would make me a very happy man. I meant to reply sooner but lost the bookmark to this thread...
