Squadron changes I'd like to see going foward.

• First off would be the obv Level cap increase to 70-80 and access to jobs (especially classless ones). With those outta the way
• I'd like an increase in the maximum amount of Squadmates we can have, an increase of the amount missions we can do per week (we can only do them multiple times as long as we fail each time)
• I'd also like some more customization options, even if limited. For example would be Lalafellin recruits Sasahu and Liliba, the former has buns but there is a hairstyle that adds the buns to Liliba's and thus I'd like both to be able to use them. Another lalafell-centric example would be Totodi having access to the other variants of her "Pigtails with Bows" hairdo.
• I'd also like to have the option to have them do emotes and and be summoned to the overworld for GPose purposes, they don't have to fight in these cases.
• I would also want a completely customization recruit akin to 1.0's Path Companion and retainers, after reaching a certain rank.
• Lastly, I would like to have something akin to the Masked Carnivale, a set of instances designed to be tackled with the Squadron.

I think they should just keep working on this. Why waste this content when they already put time into developing it, and people have been putting the content to use. I mean, honestly they didn't waste time developing it.. I liked the squadron system, it's new and different and really makes you feel like you're part of the the GC.

I would mostly love to see them prune some abilities. It's infuriating to watch ACN spam bane or any melee featherfoot>blood for blood>internal release>second wind and then not throw out any damage before the mob dies.

I would also love for them to increase the heal priority to 75/80% rather than the 50% it is at now, and DEFINITELY make heal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>esuna.

Use the coding from Trusts to make Squadrons smarter.

And yet how long have the multiple, unobtainable GC ranks existed...?

Yeah before squadron, the ranking system was unused. The newer ones are now tied to the Squadron system, which has pretty much been trash canned in favor of the trust system, where the squadron system was clearly a prototype for. It's something I've said before, although of course I don't know if really true as to why the team doesn't do enough with it - GC is a carry over from 1.0 and not even part of his vision, but the vision of his predecessor.

Or better yet, just recruit your Scion buddies in your squad. With the Scion champion being a high ranking officer of one of the GCs, it's kind of pointless to maintain the neutrality that Minfilia strove for. All the city states are already part of the same military alliance of which the Scions serve.

Honestly I'd dislike this for the simple fact that an Offensive 5 Squadron is miles faster than Trusts. As in, Aurum Vale or Sohm Ahl in 12-14 minutes, instant queues and all the loot.

Sure they have clunky AI, need leveling and then a lot of rng to even get Offensive 5, but at least you work towards and earn that fast leveling method. Trusts will never become faster.
Squadrons also haven't hurt the 20-60 queues, making the argument that unlocking efficient Trusts with a bit of work would kill 70-80 dungeon queues.

I'd actually like to see Trusts gain the Mastery system from Squadrons once they hit 80.

Feels like they should add more Heavensward and Stormblood MSQ dungeons. For Heavensward, you have Sohm Al, and the Vault and not much else to level your job just spam them over and over. No Stormblood dungeons for whatever reason.

Trusts are nice, albeit a little slow but it's intended. It makes DPS grinding much easier than just using roulettes and the ONE beast tribe.

Also, I want my retainers added to both the squads and trusts.
