This isnt FFXI!

Seriously? People want more content... they get more content..then complain about the content. Want exactly what you want? Make a game.

But... Final Fantasy always has references.... do you want to say goodbye to Biggs and Wedge? To Cid!!! Even Ironheart? Which even suggests we are all on the same planet! (I believe Eorzea is a region of a planet, not the entire planet?)

We also have primals (Ifrit, Titan, if I'm not mistaken, were in many other FFs).

I fail to see what is special about this taru you want to leave her out...

If we would list every single reference to previous FF games that XIV has we'd be going for quite a while.
Besides: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Shatoto

And OP's reference: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Shantotto

And +1 on the Shantotto minion, do want!

Thank you all for agreeing that they should keep implementing stuff from ffxi.

I think it's that people want content relevant to Eorzea itself.

At first I thought it would be interesting to see if there's any small story to it, but then when I saw they would add a minion of someone like her, and I feel like they're stretching it. Not opposed to it though since there's actually plenty of people psyched about this, and it's definitely a memorable XI character, so, you know, it's a cute idea, but I don't think I'll take part on the event for the minion part, just to see if they explain how did she get here, lol.

who wants a shantoto minion?

I'd like this as a Veteran reward. Especially if she goes "Ohohohohoho!" when idle for long enough.

People in the XIV community largely hates XI and everything about/who played it, for whatever reason - I guess because some people would like to see elements of it back in ARR, especially the good ones but no one complains about ARR basically being FF graphics, WoW and GW2 thrown into a blender.

XI had its faults, but it also did a few thing very right. ARR fixed a ton of what was wrong with XIV, but I wouldn't hate it if there was a little more XI here or there. That said, the OP's reaction to a name is.. stupid.

What's the explanation behind the Pointing Hand minion? That is not from the FFXIV world. Should I start a thread about it?

The golems from Dragon Quest is OK, but the FFXI taru dosnt fit with A Realm Reborn its total different graphics :/
