(Art!) A "Mini Minstrel" Companion?!

Lots of people outside of the Lodestone even tell me they'd love to see Mini ingame.
Even though the next couple of weeks will be hectic, I'll try my best to keep this thread up until he shows up in ARR.

Looking at it realistically, there are only two possible stopgaps (I seriously doubt they'd just think it's a bad idea).

1: they don't want to deal with the "user created content" legal mess, but I doubt it, since they had the ring contest.
2: Yoshida might not want to put in something that resembles him and will probably show up a LOT. If you walk into Gridania and you see an army of little Yoshi-P, it would look funny as hell, but someone may accuse him of being on an ego trip.

Maybe it could be used as an easter egg somewhere more than as a minion to avoid seeing armies of Mini-yoshis all over the place.

PS: lovely art as usual.

Well... I wonder how many of you recall that the Wandering Minstral was in the game long before Yoshida started using the character model?

Sounds familiar, but I have the worst memory ever.

I'm actually pretty sure the first time the character was shown, even if not in the current outfit, is on the lodestone for the first Firefall Faire (http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...73cbfb4f15e2fc), before it appeared in game as an NPC.

It's mostly a problem of perception though.

That's a completely different character model and was made as a joke by the Devs and he rolled with it.

Oh, touché!
