So, plus side, it seems getting the minions and such aren't too bad. The near-instant FATE respawn in Outer La Noscea means you can run back and forth and get your badges pretty quick. There IS a bit of a hitch that folks should be aware of for both minions and the weapons, though.
It's not stated right away, but as you progress, you require MORE badges for the things. Your first minion is 1 token, the next three are 3, next three are 5, then 7 and finally 9 per. The total number of tokens for all the minions is 73 or something similar. I managed to get 6-7 minions in about an hour or so of FATE farming in Outer La Noscea.
Where it gets vicious is if you want the weapons. First one is 7 legendary tokens, which - as the event stuff states - has a chance to drop if you're doing FATEs in a zone with a minion whose Legendary tokens that drop there. However, EACH successive weapon requires two more tokens. So your second weapon is 9 legendary tokens, then 11, then 13, then 15. From what I read yesterday, it is unknown how much the fifth and beyond weapons are - whether they cap at 15 tokens each or if it keeps increasing to a higher cap, if there even is one.
So, if you're wanting a full set of weapons? You're going to be doing a LOT of FATE grinding. So, I'd recommend aiming for one, maybe two weapons, and just get all the minions for the ghostmobile. Likely going to be much less headache-inducing.
You DO have until October to do all this, though, so there's no particular rush if you decide you want all of the things.
