New minipets - Japan exclusively
Cassandra
Just found this, a new batch of exclusive miniptes for Japan; for what I can understand from the site, it's linked to the Nightfall release (...?) so I'll put it in this section.

I want an oni minipet. Guess I'll have to do some trading in the international districts.
Of course, we could all be getting them as minipets. That would be awesome.

I'd love to have a minipet like this (Japan-only):

I thought that the panda mini pet was an exclusive to a team who won at some international event. I think they gave away 8 of them 1 to each on one of the top teams. I dunno and I'm too lazy to look it up. BTW I want a damn Oni mini pet. That thing is great!

i want oni pet lol.

Wouldn't Japan's GW characters be turning a year old around now?
Perhaps America/Europe/Korea will get this round of minipets when our characters' next birthdays roll around.

It seems to be a special recognition of people that have to go play at the net cafes. The naga is available Oct 13-6; the oni Oct 27-Nov 9; and the yeti Nov 10-23. It sounds like some sort of raffle you have to apply for; but at the same time it sounds like they just give it to the first 30 in the cafe. Supplies are limited to 30 keys per net cafe per each mini pet. The gibberish google translation keeps talking about some sort of A4 clear file which seems to actually be the thing that comes with the mini pet key.

The two Japan exclusives I really wanted were the Island guardian and the Kanaxi minipet, those were really cool. Those were also prizes for a tournament or something.

I don't begrude the Japanese their special items, given how they're completely shut out of PvP. Much more needs to be done to stoke interest in Guild Wars in Japan. I would even encourage small Japan-Taiwan(-China) tournaments with exclusive in-game prizes as a means of priming their PvP communities for the Nightfall championships.
We can revisit the issue of allocation of exclusive items for other territories fairly once Japan (and Taiwan (and China)) starts having favor with some regularity.

They should start doing weekend events that raffle off some ultra rare minipets or something. Or in addition to hats, you can get an appropiately themed minipet out of shere luck during the Mad King/Grenth & Dwayna/etc end events and make them untransferrable out of the character or account so that people can't sell them.

But will be good that they have separet servers considering the restrictions the Chines goverment demands be implemented in the games.
panda would be a cool pet

I thought there was a porblem with having pandas as minipets because it was considered offensive to the Chinese.
Pandas are protected and extremely revered and having them as pets in the game would cause problems.
dunno, just thought i read that somewhere.

^That concerns pandas as ranger pets that can die; not invincible mini pets.

a Lich minipet would be the bomb imo.
With his cape sliding over the floor and the Scepter of Orr in his hand constantly laughing and uttering remarks about how he's going to take over Tyria :P

The availability of new mini-pets (Naga Raincaller, Oni, and Long Hair Yeti) is 500 each.
Special GW Clear File is the item for those first 30person who play GW per specific net cafes.

I wonder if the Oni minipet would make "oni singing" sounds like the real ones do. That'd be very creepy.

We got 8 to 10 heroes in Nightfall. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll have mini-version of them?
Knightsaber Sith
^Twelve heroes have already been confirmed and wiki lists 15.
