Why is the ninja bunny not a minion yet?

[Gunspec]

I've recently been playing catch up on some of the classes I don't usually play, and when screwing around in town on ninja I realized the bunny wasn't an in-game minion. I kind of assumed its inclusion was inevitable when I first leveled my ninja to 50, but forgot all about it in the past year.

So when are we going to get the "oops bunny" as a permanent companion? What kind of activity or achievement could reward it? Are there any other similar minion ideas that are practically in the game already?

[WellFooled]

This is an excellent idea, I'm surprised I haven't seen it suggested before. Have a like!

[Theodric]

It'd be pretty neat. They could add a comic relief NIN NPC somewhere who can do nothing but summon them - and ends up offering one as a companion to get it off his or her hands.

Because I'd want to stab it for all the times he popped up due to mudra lag/server lag before the fix.

That bunny is the worst character in FFXIV if you're a NIN and I hope it dies in a laggy car fire. :|

Make it require a challenge such as "fail murdas x amount of times". Perfectly farmable for those that want it, but most of us who play NIN at all are likely to get it eventually without trying.....

lol, that's the first thing that came to mind, but I'm afraid that would lead to people intentionally failing in dungeons. Maybe reward it for successful mudras. The bunny hasn't been out in a while, so he comes out to play permanently.

But yeah, I was thinking more along the line of a ninja-exclusive quest, like the unicorn one that conjurers have.

Eh. I'm not too worried about it. Apparently NINs don't have to use Murda anyhow to do dungeons at this point, either that or a certain friend I have found the nicest people in the world while she was leveling it. She somehow to got 60 and didn't know that Huton was beneficial or how to use Armor Crush. In runs I've done, I've been complimented on the fact that I actually use Smokescreen and Shadewalker. Apparently NIN competence isn't expected at this point outside of raiding, so people will treat those NIN who do that the same way we always treat bad players. Also, who knows, it could coin the term "Bunny Ninja" in the same manner as an Ice Mage, and means more commendations for those of us who play NIN at least halfway well.....

Do it. Then I can stop pestering every ninja I see with "bunny pliz"
