Starbird Minion

[Nekaru_Infitima]

SPOILER Warning

A complaint, but more just a 'I wonder why' type complaint. I don't hate SE for it or anything, just wondering why they did it this way.


Anyway, after 48 runs (and counting) of Trust and PF on the last dungeon I still don't have this minion or even seen it drop for anyone. Because they made it a rare drop in the dungeon.

But why didn't they just give us this one? I think lore-wise it would have made sense (and the reason I want it.) We redeemed Metion, we showed her there was more to life than despair, now give her to us to stay by our side and show the rest of the goods of the world.

Every time they've given us an in-story minion it's been for some sort of purpose such as that. I get why we got Venat, she was important and respected. But I can't help but think they should have held Starbird back for a later quest, or an after-quest or some sort.

To earn her as our partner.

I like having relevant stuff like this to work towards and not just handed out because it can be. RNG can suck, but the day I get the drop will be a happy day.

I think you missed the point. I don't want it just to be handed out to have a rare. Any other minion I get working towards. I mean STORY-WISE this would have been a good one to give us, like they did Midgard and Anima (the weapon one)

I guess I did miss the point, because it sounded like you wanted it to be a reward for doing the story, and I don't think it's necessary. Personally I feel that it's very relevant to the dungeon it drops in and makes it more sentimentally meaningful.

Is it really incentive when people choose to just run it with Trusts so there's no competition though?

I got so bored of the monotony of it I literally just pull the packs together then run ahead, let them DPS them down, help on the boss, rinse and repeat now.

Can this minion stand on our shoulder ?

[Nekaru_Infitima]

Yeah it can.

I hate everything that's still just totally random instead of being something we can actually work toward. How many runs do you need? Who knows! Someone who will never use it will get it on the first clear, while someone who does want it could do it literally thousands of times and just not get it.

I don't understand why this minion can't be put on the marketboard at the very least.
