    Minion and Mount Guides

    Thank you Square-Enix for implementing Lore like guides for all my Mounts and Minions. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the various Mounts and Minions that I have collected so far, and now look forward to collecting them all even more.

    I love how the Minion Guide has an image of what the Minion's footprints look like too. So cute!

    I was wondering though, what does the Behaviour section mean? I think some of them said "Independent" and I can't remember what the others said. Are the Minions supposed to be more than just a gimmick? Regardless, I love all my Minions. XD

    Looking at the minions, 'Independent' seems to be the ones that wander around and 'Obedient' are the ones that stare at your butt, mostly.

    Okay then. that's what I'll do. I'll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves to you, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing?

    Hehe, I love how also if you hover your cursor over the mount or minion image when it's profile is open, a non-interacative-npc-style speech balloon appears with a comment from a random npc. The ones for the wind up sylph and Cait Sith Doll are especially interesting - the former because it's actually a reference to version 1.0 (the dialogue is from a 1.0 Path Companion), and the Cait Sith Doll's one is, fittingly, a piece of Cait Sith's dialogue from FFVII!

    I'm certain Ferne and the lore/writing/translation teams had great fun writing this dialogue, as it shows. Thank you everyone!

    Incidentally, the dialogue for the sylph minion makes me wonder... could this be a very subtle first hint that the Path Companions will be returning? I sure hope that's indeed the case and not just me looking at something that isn't there.

    I knew our chocobos are all male (this was stated as such back in 1.0) but I didn't know they were gelded. Poor guy.
