Oh yes, amd FFT style minigame would be amazing.

I'm not sure if making it Squadron based would my choice though, only from the Verminion comparison. Verminion was a sore dissapointment for me and remains so. Many of us assumed it would be turned based, and others expected a light Pokemon rip-off, instead we got the worst UI I've ever had the displeasure of handling for any game ever.

So, honestly just rehauling Verminion from the ground up and making it play more in the style of FFT would get us our minion battles, increase it's popularity in the saucer, and give us another wonderful reference to the classic spin-off series.
