I find the "trusts during Maat fights" thing to be a bit off-putting. I'm still a new player for the most part (just finally got the game going again now that I have the time) and I'm slowly working up my BLU while I obtain all the spells as I go. One thing I've been looking forward to is the inevitable Maat fight in the future and all the preparation and planning I'd need to do to get past it. I know I'll still be able to do it solo (and I plan to) but it does kind of diminish the achievement a little knowing that most other new players will be steam rolling through him with Trusts. I know, that's a petty thing to care about (a personal flaw) but meh.

Then again, I guess since you have to go through Rhapsody missions first to unlock that option, I likely wouldn't have done it yet anyway and thus would need to solo him regardless. I'm OCD about doing things in order.

Have they said what level/gear you'll need to be able to progress through the rhapsody missions? Just curious.
