Lets talk about minions

i wanna know what everyone's favorite minions are and why!

[Berteaux_Braumegain]

I like Puff of Darkness. It's cute and hugs your shoulder when you call it.

I usually don't pay attention to minions, though.

favorite minion: wind up tifa

why?: because its tifa

I have to say that my little red panda is my favorite. When he climbs up on my shoulder he just looks so darned cute.

Cait Sith for the unsteady wobble

Honorable mention goes to dodo for that goofy topheavy running animation.

[CaptainLagbeard]

I don't have an absolute favorite, but Lalinator 5.H0 is a top contender definitely, because the Dwarfs of the First are amazing.

Fenrir pup is my boy, with Komainu as a close second! The former was a gift from another friend after I had mentioned my ill luck at getting it to drop, something I super appreciate, and the latter is just a cute lion-dog that I can't help but adore. <3

This is a bit of a tough question for me because a few of my actual favourite minions are ones I never use. I love the snowy owl minion and the Nier pod minions.. but I always find myself clicking on them while I'm playing so they just become more annoying than lovable after I click on them instead the gathering node or the enemy I'm trying to target for the 20th time. They just happen to always fly in right around the same area where I have my camera angled. So, yeah, pretty much all of the flying minions are kind of out of the running for me as far as minions I actually use.

As for minions I actually do use, it's a toss up between the spriggan (dust bunny) and the tonberry. I love them both and they don't have the "argh get out of the way" factor that the flying minions do. I also really like the minion you receive at the end of the 6.0 MSQ but it still personally feels like it would be too spoilery to use it in most areas of the game.

My Wind-up Bahamut. I love how he hops around with a Dalamud eggshell on his head. And then when it tries to float away he jumps up, grabs it and puts it back on his head again. What's not to love?

[KageTokage]

I like the Wee Ea minion...though that stems partly from the fact that it's involved in spawning one of the Endwalker S ranks and I'm just too lazy to change it out for something else.
