The MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has experimented with many different content over the years. Many of these features are almost forgotten and lie fallow today. However, one feature still receives regular updates despite little player attention.
What feature are we talking about? The community is pleased with the ongoing support for The Feast of Minions
. It is a minigame that can be played in the Gold Saucer. It is a MOBA like League of Legends – just in Final Fantasy XIV.
Instead of champions, the battles are fought with collectible companions from the MMORPG. Each of the so-called minions has its own abilities and stats. There is a simplified hierarchy similar to Pokémon. Players give commands to their fighters and coordinate them.
The winner is the one who destroys the opponent’s Arcanum stones first. Alternatively, a player can also concede defeat.
The forgotten feature of 2016 still excites players today
What does the community say? The Feast of Minions is now one of the features that seem hardly used anymore. When visiting the area in the Gold Saucer that hosts the game, usually only NPCs are standing around.
On reddit, user Flares117 has now spoken up: According to him, The Feast of Minions is still regularly updated today. The poster writes that he received the minion from the new raid and tried it out immediately. Lo and behold – even the latest companion has been prepared for the minigame.
Flares117 believes there are about three active players worldwide and that Square Enix keeps the game more current than, for example, the Diadem or the Duty Roulette. He would love to watch the one developer who is still working on it.
In the comments, other users share their excitement. First_Cardiologist13 says: As one of the aforementioned last three players, the developer is my MVP
. However, Suspectwaffle wants to know if the companions are balanced.
All in all, the minigame seems to receive more love from the developers than many larger pieces of content.
What other forgotten features
are there? In his post, Flares117 also mentions the Diadem and the Duty Roulettes.
The Diadem was originally released with the Heavensward expansion as well. Initially, it was content that could be accessed using your guild’s airship. Nowadays, the Diadem is part of the restoration of Ishgard and can only be entered by collector classes. The last major updates were during Shadowbringers.
The Duty Roulettes are also a feature that made it into the game during Heavensward: It was the first attempt to run dungeons with NPCs. However, the NPCs do not exceed level 60. Thus, they are unusable for dungeons starting from Stormblood.
On reddit, some users report that they still regularly go on tours with their NPCs. The rewards are simply too good. Among other things, there are buffs that work similarly to guild buffs, only more powerful. In addition, the NPCs can collect scripts, which are the endgame currency.
Is there any content in Final Fantasy XIV that you enjoy playing but hasn’t received major updates in a long time? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
While some of these older contents are no longer receiving updates, the development team has poured all its energy into the new expansion Dawntrail. Now the new raid has also been released in its normal version and players are thrilled: The new raid in Final Fantasy XIV is live – The community says: “The best normal raid in this game”
