You know, in several FF games, you could purposely Mini, Kappa(Imp), Pig, and just play the game that way.

Having such "debuff"'s in the game would be something people could do for their own sillyness. Chicken, Imp and Mini are in the game.

There's also things like Vampire and Zombie which are debuffs that make you unkillable albeit hard to control/keep-"alive", since it reverses or ignores the healing buff. So there are strategies that could involve those, but they're not likely to be purposeful things players use.

Mini spells have been around since FF3 actually. You needed it to progress through certain areas. And you can tell how much ff14 devs love FF3 given the whole Crystal Tower sidestory.

Otherwise, this isn't anything from the norm in any game really. The fact that you're focusing on it so intently is far more suspect.

The only fights that involve mini spells are the throwback to earlier titles. Mini, among with other spells, was in FFV (where Gilgamesh is from) and FFIII where the Crystal Tower is from, so it's just one more reference to the different spell list used in those games.

You what this game needs?

Except if should be the mini hammer. And not consumable. Just a fun item that Mini's the player.

IMO, take the Mini hammer to the logical extreme, bop someone (in your party) with it, and they turn into a SD (super-deformed) version, mini body, big head.

Does 1 damage with physical attacks, any physical attack received does 99999 (but has a 99% chance of missing, not immune to magic. Also reduces range for all skills to mini-sizes) Use it to get through one specific kind of gated content in the game (like FF3(original not 6.)) Bop again to restore. For play balance reasons, using in a battle on a party member where it's not meant to be used would inflict the normal debuff timer for mini. Using the hammer on a trash monster would also be possible if the skill cast isn't interrupted. Outside of combat it could be used anytime.

And if you want to add a "more fun" aspect to it, add some mini-emotes like "sit on target's shoulder", "sit on target's head", "hug target's ankle" if in the party.
