I hate to say it, but you're not going to see much of an expansion into FFXI's version, that's just facing facts. Really you're more likely to see an expansion of the Company squadron into more content - the Trust system will probably remain SHB centric due to lore reasons.

I know you're a lover of the lore and all but...
I don't think Trusts are here because of lore reasons. Pretty sure they did it so it can help the DPS and it's terrible Q times.
If it's well-received, then we might (hopefully!) see Trusts get some sort of expansion.
All they have to do is give them a few lines and text bubbles if they wanted and call it a day.

I like Trusts, hope to have a big variety, hell, add the retainers in!

The ones I want most, at times in the story where it makes sense for them to be...

- Estinien
- Ysayle (Figure with Shiva she can be similar to Crystal Exarch with multiple role potential)
- Aymeric
- Lucia
- NERO.
- Gaius
- Lyse
- Unukalhai
- Emet-Selch if he is not permadead in all senses but we'll see what happens. He said he would lend us his strength and then bailed the second Runar and co. showed up. I am holding him to that offer. >:|
- Hien
- Yugiri
- Hildebrand 110%
- Gosetsu
- Cirina
- Sadu
- Magnai

He was only a Archer because he had not yet mastered his powers. 5.X MSQ may provided the lore about how he learn to use the powers at a younger age due to Exarch help which would lead to him becoming the all Role Job character but a less experienced since he is younger.

If the MSQ plays out in the way I am guessing then we can expect a Young Spock and Old Spock Scenario with those two.

I have a plenty lengthy list of characters I'd love as Trusts. But I've trimmed it down to the low number of 43.

Kan-E-Senna
Merlwyb
Nero Tol Scaeva
Raubahn

Estinien
Lucia
Hilda
M'Naago
Y'Mhitra
Yugiri
Sadu

Godbert Manderville
Julyan Manderville
Shatotto (Not Shantotto)
Krile
I'Haminn
Miounne
Lina Mewrilah
Momodi

If you die she carries your head around for the rest of the dungeon.

Lyse, Krile, Fordola, Arenvald, and Raubahn would be nice.

Maybe even Hoary Boulder?!

I think they might be talking about Shatotto, who is an entirely different character.
