Watch everyone rushing to this when it's released... and watch it die down extremely quickly. Reasons will be: having to get the minions we want to use again because they'll have to be special with stats and everything; not every minion will be usable; the whole thing will be an incredibly mind-numbing grindfest, just like TT and Chocobo racing - a frustrating mess instead of downtime fun.

Please look forward to it!
Not to mention someone will find an exploit like in TT and they will be at the top of the list every week (im looking at you Masamune TT leader board!)
