Hello, FFXI development team.
I am a 19-year-old player who started playing FINAL FANTASY XI in 2026. I have now played around 1,228 hours, which may not sound like much compared with some long-time players, but FFXI has already become one of the games I have played the most on Steam.
Because of my age and the way I prefer to play, it is very difficult for me to find players around my age who I can regularly play with for a long period of time. I really enjoy playing FFXI as a solo player with Trusts, but at the same time, I would also love to experience some of the content that currently cannot be entered with Trusts.
I am very excited about the upcoming Trust Equipment System. Since Trusts are already strong enough to handle the vast majority of content intended for solo play, I was wondering if the development team could consider another possibility as Trusts become stronger:
Could some currently Trust-prohibited content eventually receive a special solo + Trust mode?
I am not necessarily asking for something like Odyssey to be opened to Trusts immediately. I understand that content such as Odyssey is still very important to the current endgame and that allowing Trusts there could have a major impact on the existing economy and party-based gameplay.
Instead, perhaps older content could be considered first.
For example, could older content such as Master Trials have a special version or entrance that allows one player and their Trusts to participate? The rewards could be reduced or otherwise adjusted if necessary, so that this would not interfere with the existing equipment economy or the reasons players form parties for the original content.
For players like me who enjoy FFXI but have difficulty finding a long-term party, this would open up an entirely new part of the game.
I don't want Trusts to replace playing with other people. I simply want Trusts to give players like me a way to experience more of the incredible content that FFXI has accumulated over the years.
If the goal of the new Trust systems is to expand solo play, I would be very happy if this could eventually become part of that vision.
Thank you for continuing to support FFXI.:p
