Minions are optional features in Final Fantasy XIV that players can use as a sort of collectathon mini-game. Each player can command a large number of minions. While minions cannot contribute any attack or skills, they can provide a cuteness overload for players, as a dependable partner who will always be with you, and as some wind-up minions that can resemble your favorite character from Final Fantasy XIV or even other Final Fantasy titles.
