I was actually hoping this was real, with just the Viangaa minions being the joke. I got reeled in for a minute. I mean, wasn't there a pet battle arena in FFXI? Well played, SE.

I have a love/hate relationship with April Fools day. I always looked forward to seeing what elaborate joke Blizzard would come up with every year and, now, SE is no different. It's fun. But catching up on real news is a complete waste of time.
