Talking about developing a mini RTS Strategy Game in the Gold Saucer using Minions called "LORD of VirMINION" (based on Lord of Vermillion, Square-Enix's card game) ...

As I read through the blog post, I was a bit excited... until I saw that this entry was published on April 1st ... and featured the male / female Viangaa (Viera x Bangaa) Minion ...

Is this REALLY being developed (which would be awesome if it was, because it would give minions a purpose outside of merely vanity), or is the Development Team trolling us on April 1st and making fools out of us? I'm a bit curious.
