Stormblood OST - What is the minion?

[InkstainedGwyn]

I am kind of cheesed that both the Yotsuyu and the Tsukuyomi minions are outside-purchase items. Oh, well.

[jameseoakes]

So are we not getting a minion from Tsukuyomi in-game then? :c

Not by the looks of it, confirmed as the soundtrack minion.

[Theodric]

Makes sense. The 4.3 Primal has three themes, after all. Four if you count the dungeon track.

[Emstidor]

Ahaha, this is the first story primal (Excluding Bahamut, I guess) locked to physical merchandise, so I expect certain people are gonna be pissed.

for me at least, I wouldn't say pissed as much as really disappointed. I got no craftable primal minion and no craftable glamour this patch :[

I know you said "primal" but Nidhogg was also a story trial and his minion was given with one of the Heavensward artbooks.

Soundtracks. But your point still holds.

My bad, sorry. I mixed his minion up with Hraesvelgr's.

The Tsukuyomi minion being tied to this OST is especially grating to me, not because I particularly cared for the minion or anything, but because I feel we were supposed to have this already.

The crafting recipe for Stuffed Tsukuyomi uses 1 Royal Fern, an item which previously, like its HW precursor item Blood Pepper, was used to "animate" crafted minions. A while back I crafted this, expecting a minion from it (I had failed to read the name properly in my eagerness so all fault on that lies with me). I was very surprised that it was a housing item, which even upon being placed just can't help but look very much like a motionless minion to me.

Initially I had reasoned this away to myself that there was probably a last minute switch, with SE deciding that a crafted minion would be too spoiler-y to have running around the world before most people can reach and clear the primal itself, thus making the already existing minion a stationary item instead.

Now, it feels significantly more like said switch may have happened because a minion was needed to attach to yet another high-priced merchandise item, and was held back for this reason. I have no proof for this, just a feeling I get.

OK I AM FURIOUS!!!! FURIOUS!!!! WHY IS THE TSUKUYOMI MINION TIED TO A $50 CD ?!?!!?!? WHAT THE HECCCKKKKKKKK!!!!

Like others stated, I thought it would be brought out later because it may have been to "spoiler-y" to release a minion for a secret trial right off the bat, BUT they gave us a stuffed doll.

I learned and farmed that fight to get my hands on the crafting item so that I could have it for when the minion is finally released.

AND THEY ARE GONNA LOCK IT BEHIND A $50 CD?!?!?!

WHAT THE HECKKKKK

AND ITS ONLY FOR ONE CHARACTER

WHAT THE HECKKKKKK
I AM SOOOOO PISSSEEEEDD

ALSO ALSO BOTH THE YOTSUYU AND TSUKUYOMI MINIONS ARE LOCKED BEHIND PURCHASED ITEMS?!?!
