[Verohawke]

Greetings, everyone!

Below are some comments from Matsui Akihiko in regards to various feedback on Trust.

Thank you so much for the upcoming update of alter ego's!

I speak for many of us if I say that we are also looking for an adjustment that the trust will use enhancing magic and healing magic.

It was announced back in 2013 that this would happen.

Could you tell us more when and if this adjustment is going to be implemented?

Another suggestion: It would also be incredibly useful if mage / supporting trusts, who do not engage the target would stand out of AOE range of the target you are fighting.
Otherwise one AOE move of for example AA Elvaan in High tier battle will instantly kill White Mage trust

I already thank you for your feedback and time to investigate this.

My questions in regards of being able to summon trusts in voidwatch:

Will trusts be able to proc voidwatch weaknesses?
Will they be able to detect them?
Will we be able summon them regardless of enmity? Like how reives is.

Summoning trusts for the Maat fight?
I must say that this has me utterly amused, even if it's only after progressing through Rhapsodies.

While trusts have their purpose and they are usefull, they also stand for the demise of this game. The game feels emptier then ever since only the latest content is done with actual people. I wish SE would stop expanding on this system.

I don't agree, I am really happy DEV is expanding on this system; so players have a choice to party with other people or not.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer partying with actual people over doing content with trusts. At least I have an alternative to "solo" it if I can't find the people online to do it together with.

Well I don't know if you know but ff11 is going English speaking only soon and xbox plastaion server r being shut down pc will soon be the only way to ue and it should stay on here for ever onwards but update maybe a thing of the past cos there dealing on the worst game ever made in the ff series ff14 iv played that game thought 1 to max and its far to easy far to quick and not my thing its borederline world of Warcraft copy cat game. and wowwell that's just the most useless addtion to a game iv ever seen so don't go there. come back to the ff11 ways but 21 centry.

Content for Rhapsodies is geared to level 60, is what it sounds like. The changes to make it easier to do early things looks to be for the idea that they are assuming that old players will come back to finish storyline, and many of them won't have their old login information, so will start new characters and new accounts. Rhapsodies down't require old mission completion so that someone that remembers the story doesn't have to do it all again if they came back fresh, and letting Trusts be in a Maat fight means that they won't have to spend time farming gear and combat/magic skill before fighting him.

Ah okay, that makes sense -- thanks for the clarification . I still plan to do everything in order, which means I'll still be soloing that fight, but I can see the benefit to people that would rather just get through it quickly. I'm taking my time with the game, so if it takes me awhile to break past 70, that's cool with me.

Ehh... what?

Trusts don't actually make up for the lack of people in the game. I think Trusts should be upgraded to like an actual player. Koru-Moru support magic isn't the same of that with an actual person who is playing Rdm. I also noticed Trusts only cap to 99. That does no good when mobs are beyond 100+. Can this be fixed?

That's a pretty tall order. You're asking SE to create artificial intelligence, one of the great challenges of engineering/computer science.
