Verminion isn't quite what I hoped for.

Ok so I wrote up a whole post on this, but apparently it was too long so I had to cut quite a bit of stuff out.

With the popularity of games such as DOTA and League of Legends, it was actually kind of surprising to see something similar make its way into FFXIV. The thought of being able to pit your special minion against other minions was a great idea. In my opinion, I feel like it could have been done differently though.

If I was really going for a stretch here, I would compare the current Verminion more to Starcraft than I would the other games I listed, which may be what it was going for. Now don't get me wrong, Starcraft is a great game, but I feel like if Verminion took the MOBA approach, it would be way more fun, if not more competitive.

I think it would be way more fun to have players be able to choose one minion. Each minion would have a set of about 3-4 different abilities, and have different game modes like 3v3, 5v5, or maybe even 2v2v2v2.

I don't play MOBAs for a reason.... so I'm sort of glad it's like this instead.

I actually like it how it is. I'm a much bigger fan of strategy games and being able to micro manage everything on the map is way better imo.

Also, you can get past the character limit by editing your post.

I actually was expecting it to be a rts like star craft from the beginning

I was pretty sure from start that it would be managed as a strategy, not MOBA.

LoV was hinted as similar from Revenant Wing since the beginning iirc.

It's a mini-game. Not a new triple A title. I think it is alot of fun the way it is. I look forward to future updates and new rules.

It's already way to complicated and full of details to be a minigame, plus I don't like MOBAs so yeah.. Let it be

Collecting minions was the minion game for me. I cannot understand why they spent so much time and money on a game using the minions.

Personally, I'm worried about the implications of multiple minion summons.

I always thought I got this "one" minion. Bought it, found it, whatever. There's only one for me and if it's alive, it might even have a personality. How do I get multiple now...? Do I force it through a void rift or something to clone it?
