Let trusts flex at least one other role

i like trusts but i don't like being pigeonholed into having to play x role to most efficiently level them

for example in the mothercrystal urianger is able to also function as a dps.

now how i'd do it is have it is keep it within the same/similar gameplay style (for example, have alphinaud flex as a caster since he's a healer, let thancred function as a melee dps and estinien as a tank)

more flexibility would make things a lot nicer and grant you flexibility so you can play what you want without worrying about other characters falling behind

I think it would be healthier for the game moving forward if our future trust party was composed of characters with multiple roles as opposed to ones locked to specific jobs. It would make levelling trusts far less of a pain for a start, but also gives writers a chance to stick with a smaller and well-written cast of characters as opposed to ones that feel like they're just tagging along for the ride like Thancred and sometimes G'raha feel-though admittedly I find myself taking G'raha on trust runs often because of his multiple roles.

Of course, there's no reason why we should wait till 7.0 for this. Thancred still knows how to be a rogue, Y'shtola still knows how to heal, and Alphinaud and Urianger still know offensive Arcanist spells.

Sounds like a lot of development time spent on something that I think the majority of the playerbase doesn't touch after doing it the one time during MSQ where they scale with the dungeon. While the Squadron was a very efficient way of leveling and thus actually utilized, the Trust is.. not efficient to say the least.

They're actually not that inefficient. Trusts take about 30 minutes to complete a dungeon. 81+ Dungeons give a little bit under half a level. Praetorium is about a level for an hour or so, so they're about equal to that which a ton of people do. Unless you can get instant queues into the dungeons, they're actually a decent way to level.

Plus Thancred gives you no drama if you wall-to-wall pull ahead, unlike some snowflakes in this game.

Just because you don't utilise a certain game feature does not make altering that game feature a waste of development time.

I like the Trust. Liked my squad even more, since I could make it All-Lala and play dress up with them. It's by no means a dead kind of content.

If I'd criticize one thing about this dev team, it's their tendency to abandon older content. The chocobo, for example, could use a touch up.

There are a couple spots he seems perfectly willing to do it himself now actually. He's not consistent about it, but I've seen him do it in both Zot and Vanaspati.

What? I have never seen My Turn do it on his own. I must be unlucky. I pull for him.

He can. I even saved a clip of it from the first time I saw it happen.
