Final Fantasy XIV devotes a full trailer to Lord of Verminion’s strategic pet battles

If you’ve never played Final Fantasy XIV or stopped playing some time ago, you might not be aware of the fact that there’s a new way to fight for glory these days. A chance to not simply march into battle, but to take command of an entire army… of cute fluffy animals and some dolls. It’s Lord of Verminion, and yes, it’s all about battling with your pets.

The flip side, of course, is that Lord of Verminion also serves as a fully featured RTS game in the middle of the existing MMORPG, so there’s some meat on those bones. If you haven’t looked into it at all, or just like to watch battle footage of fat cats rolling about on the battlefield, check out the trailer just below.
