So I was chitchatting and came up with a really neat idea. I have been doing Verminion recently and that kinda planted the seed. My thought, have minions that can walk around either outside or inside on the set floor.

So much like NPC placement it would be a silhouette with an interface maybe something akin to the fish tank, with a couple slots to put minions in. This would allow for the minions to then walk around the area freely as if they were always there, making estates feel more alive and lived in, as well as allowing for multiple new styles and ways to accent a build.

Now, my logic for having it be a silhouette with an interface is 2-fold. Now I dont know FFXIV coding or any of the background logic but my thought, but the first part of my thought was to have it read the navmesh of that floor/outside and allow them to walk around without walking all over furnishings or counters like they do when they follow you. The second half is rather simple, to allow for use of the minion items, my FC has at least 3-5 minions sitting in our chest if anyone wants them and being able to use the ones that everyone has would be a cute and cool way to spice up the FC house.
