Iroha would be a great option too!
I want Exarch too!! He is such a sweetie! Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I agree it kinda sucks that you lose the opportunity to run holminster with exarch and lyne if you don’t do it with them the first time (and the game doesn’t even tell you that you won’t be able to use them again later). If I’d known that I would have run the dungeons the first time with trust rather than going in with my friends. I know I know, wanting to play an MMO with other people?! What is wrong with me!
It’s especially bad if they have any exclusive dialogue, but I guess I’ll never know now.
Maybe once new game+ comes out we’ll be able to run it again with them, I just hope I don’t have to complete the entirety of ARR, HW and SB just for that...
I think they should have the Crystal Exarch and Lyna as trusts after the MSQ.
And they could also add some roles to certain characters...
Thancred could make use of his old Rogue skills and Urianger go back to Arcanist to be a DPS, Y'shtola could go back to using her Conjurer skills to be a healer.
I quite enjoy the Trust system (halfway to having them all levelled at the moment) and it feels like a good platform for adding more NPCs in the future. Exarch and Lyna seem like obvious candidates for addition down the line, then perhaps adding the option for GC Squadrons to join us (and generally update them)?
I'd like to see another tank trust at the very least. Nothing against Thancred, but I'd like more variation there.
Bumping this up
