Tales from TRUST

Warning, may contain MSQ spoilers, expecially 2nd 8man Trial.

So, Anyone expirence some wacky adventures, funny stories, or strange AI behaviour using the Trust System?

I heard a lot of people mentioning how Estinien goofs up, or rather lives up to his Dragoon job trope. But as DPS I found he ran the mechanics near perfectly. I'm starting to wonder if Scion AI changes depending on the players roll?

Anyhow, Other than Alisae being a Limit Hog, and Alphy being VERY bad at healing large pulls, I haven't had too many awkward TRUST moments.

Just one comes to mind, namely Alisae Yeeting herself into aoe's or damage areas with her Corps-a-corps.

I also really like how the Scions discuss the boss mechanics in dialogue prompts to give you a hint of what to do. It warmed my heart that Estinien warned Alisae of aoe's and how before the 8man, if you small talk with Urianger, he basically says "don't stand in the aoe please..."

anyone have funny "Tales from trust" stories?

I now want a list of all the dungeons that have funny interactions like this.

My favorite part is watching Ryne and Alphinaud walking through as if they're on a tightrope.

I absoutly love how Yshtola has no issues what so ever, and Thancred basically Yeets himself across! Dungeons with Trust ads so much to the RPG feel of the game.

The confuse mechanic on the second boss in the 81 dungeon and the hide n' seek on the first boss in the 87 dungeon have unique dialogue/interactions even for the characters who weren't present for the dungeons in question during the MSQ.

I really wish they would back fill trusts or expand squadrons to cover all of the older content too. I like taking my time and looking around. Also, I'm an antisocial bastard and would prefer to be forced to group with others as little as possible.

Or train yourself to be more social to prepare yourself for the future.

Spoilers ahead, but I had to have a chuckle in the level 87 dungeon hearing

Hythlodaeus

repeatedly saying "I'm not completely useless" in battle over and over again (it must have been when he was using some arrow attack) - I could just about hear

Emet's

eyes rolling when he did so. :p

Chanelleing Edward from FFIV perhaps? :)

87 Dungeon:

Contre Sixte is the solution to everything.

This. I love doing the Trust runs and wish SE would give us more of them. Most PUG duties are rush-rush-rush affairs that are very unsatisfactory, even though as a tank, I can influence the pace of the run. They still lack the leisurely pace and explore every nook and cranny mode I like to take, especially with each first run.

But Yeah, Trusts are a total win, IMO.

Wait, do people not just start a trust and then go afk or tab out? Odd.

@Epson
LOL this legit made me laugh the first time I saw it. Estinien also tries to drive it out by attacking the spot where it should appear. So happy they added such interactions xD.

I love doing dungeons with Trust to see how the different NPC's add their personality to the mix. it's lovely.

From the mechanical point of view, I've observed that if multiple non-boss AoEs initiate at once and they were in the bad, sometimes the trusts will run from one into the other as their AI likely doesn't account for the second (or more) AoEs. AI during bosses is usually better, since I assume moves triggering sends the trusts special instructions unique to the encounter, but sometimes you'll get the derp there, too. Probably what makes trash pulls suck is that if they do move, they'll stop acting until the offending AoE ends, which has led to some bad healer moments.
