Minion Suggestion Station

[TheGrimace]

Minions are a wonderful addition to the universe of Final Fantasy XIV. Be they critters, poppets, gadgets or beyond, these little things follow us to the ends of the earth.

There are a lot of examples of minions that are currently in the game, but I am always hungry for more. I would like this thread to be a hub for ideas to be perused by the development team.

Rules:
This thread does not have any specific rules, but I do have a few guidelines:

1. If you are suggesting multiple minions, please only feature one minion idea per post. This will make it easier to "Like!" each idea individually, making it easier to see the most popular of the bunch.
2. Please feel free to include any pictures or information that could help to give an accurate depiction of your idea.
3. Are you a fan of Lords of Verminion? Is there a type of ability you would like to see that could add to your enjoyment of the game?
4. This thread is also not only for minions themselves, but also for potential actions they perform and actions you would like to see added. Do you like how the Ultros minion recoils when poked by male characters? Do you like how the wind-up Estinien and wind-up Nidhogg battle each other? Maybe you like how the Gestahl minion rolls around on the ground for pets and attention, or how the Nutkin will sit on players' shoulders and heads. If you can think of more kinds of interactions you'd like to see, I would love to hear them!

Dress-up Alphinaud

We've got Wind-up Alphinaud in the game and have for several years, but I've always been more of a fan of the threads that Tataru knit for him in Heavensward. Unfortunately, we still do not have Dress-up Alphinaud available despite Alisaie having her own Dress-up equivalent. Strangely enough, Taito's merchandising has presented several minion figures in recent years, including one of Dress-up Alphinaud. I would love to see this fully realized and added to the actual game since the design already exists.

Let's breath some life into this topic.

Firstly, I would like to submit a request for a minion that, in my opinion, should have been in the game a long time ago. I speak of every Ninja's best friend.

Wind-up Rabbit Medium

[Blueyes]

Taking inspiration from the Gold Saucer event, The Make It Rain Campaign, I think it would be delightful to have a bunny girl minion as a future event reward. There could be a Chief variant as well, but why stop there? Male and female version of each could also be included.

Wind-up Bunny Girl

[Blueyes]

Following two rabbit related requests, let's take it a step further. Give us Fran. It would be such a tease. You know. I know it. Make it happen.

Wind-up Fran

[Suki-]

I could easily exceed my post limit suggesting minions. Love em all! ❤❤❤

This guy is probably a given to be a minion at some point but here we go:
Zenos
He could have a little 'challenge' action of some sort, as if it wanted to fight us!

[BillyKaplan]

Male and female version of each could also be included.

You're ok, you.
Also I'd kill for a Zenos minion.

Give me a Wind-up Matoya.
Interactions: all Y'shtola minions. Maybe Alphinaud minion/s. The frog minion you get from MSQ.
Bonus: like Hildy has a tiny Nashu pop up, Matoya should have a little perogo pop up and then hide back in her robes.

Would really like to see wind up versions of the Return to Ivalice primals...would be a great way to get people to run them even more.

Oh goodie. I've just been looking for a thread like this, because there's been one particular thing I'd like to see get minionified!



While I'm sure the hardcore raiders all have PTSD from the Living Liquid, ever since I saw this thing in the patch trailer I've wanted to have my own Living Puddle minion based off of it. I've been thinking this would be more likely since we've had several more of this character model added to the game in both original watery and Liquid Flame variants. (Most recent come to mind is that both versions appear in Hell's Lid as "shikigami" mobs)

There's got to be a way to make this a collectable. Keep the physics, or tone it down if you must. Heck, how about even including his form changes (hand! tornado?) as a small reaction to player emotes?

I'd love if we could get a Wind-up Montblanc at the end of the Ivalice story.


As a story explanation, if he ends up joining the theatre group they could commemorate the occasion by making a mammet of him in the style of their moogle costumes.

His animation could be him pulling out a variety of weapons as a reference to his inability to stick to one job.

Ivalice moogles need some rep dammit.
