Most anticipated trusts

[Sclair0]

Now obviously the only trusts we know about so far are the MSQ scions, but once the system is in place I figure it's pretty likely the same AI will be applied to other NPCs, so which NPCs would people like as trusts?

My biggest pipe dream trust would be Alpha as a reward for the Omega storyline. Probably unlikely since he doesn't have that many animations and his ending was set up for him to adventure on his own, but I can dream.

More realistically I'd like to see the back-room scions like Hoary Boulder and Arenvald given the trust treatment later.

Personally I would have liked if they let our squadron be these trusts as well and they could give them maybe a personality, dialogue and let us train them in a jobs as well. As much as I like Thancred and Y'shtola (Not you Alphinaud, you will stay home!) I felt like something like that already existed and should have be expanded on.

I'd love to see Raubahn :3.

I hope they bring their three (or more?) systems together, like I really hope it happens.

We have our retainers who learn jobs, our squadrons which learn jobs, and our trusts who are forced into a specific job, we also have our chocobo companion, and for those old enough to the game our 1.0 companion.

I'd love to see these systems come together in some sort of logical manner so it doesn't feel so spread out.

Like:

• Retainers may be recruited into your squadron.
• Chocobos are automatically added into your squadron as an option for squadron based content, if they're made strong enough - if not you can bring them in as a side character after perhaps feeding them a special chocobo pepper.
• 1.0 Companions are brought back as recruit-able members, you have to find them in the world and do their quests/deliveries, once unlocked they'll be opened up for helping content depending on their identity (what job/concept they embody). Those that perform combat duties will be available for summon in the open world along side your chocobo. These companions would feel a bit like playing a single player RPG with an ally, making comments and having personal quests. Bethesda/Bioware companion, sort of like concept. Combat companions may be used in the squadron system as well, their power level depending on the time you've given them (requiring a lot more time, like a chocobo, but optionally becoming more powerful although still weaker than the trusts).
• Trust behave just like squadron members in all their features BUT their jobs cant be changed, they're stronger, smarter, and because they're important individuals they can't be summoned 24/7 (so you treat them with respect).
• All systems can complete the same content unless there must be some lore reason (right now trust is 5.0+), perhaps you can only bring echo members into old primal fights or travel to different dimensions.
• Hopefully consider adding them into old content, like bringing your squadron/trust into Eureka, or into treasure hunts.

In some way they all start to tie together, and maybe even can share a similar pannel of UI with tabs, but all stay pretty helpful. Because I mean it sounds weird to recruit some of these big names into your grand company squadron lol, as a lore concept, but having a bunch of disjointed systems doesn't sound too optimal either.

Cid and Nero for sure.

[seraseth]

Cid and Nero for sure.

At the same time would be hilarious if they griped at each other.

[Aryalandi]

Minfilia trust
I vote either Dancer or Red Mage
(My own Minfilia is rdm for the time being, it fit to me lol..)

Kan-E-Senna
Y'shtola

Homestly there are too many to name

Admittedly when I hear about the Trust system I'm one of "those" people who thinks back to FFXI where you unlock the magic for each character through a sentimental cutscene going over everything you've gone through together and how much it means to them, I wonder if there will be something similar here

I'm thinking about all those "dates" the warrior of light was shown on in a video before with various characters talking to him/her and expressing how much the warrior of light means to them

I hope they do something like that here rather than just "here's your spell, go kill stuff."

And if it's anything like XI..
Cid and Nero actually would gripe at each other
Because Trusts in that have interactions when you summon characters familiar to their them.

A lot of Trust NPC system will be on Cash Shop look forward for it....

[Kalise]

I'd like to see how Trusts end up working out first. I mean, if they're just going to be copy/paste Squadrons but with MSQ relevant characters, then meh... Not too interested in whom becomes available.

However if the system goes beyond that and lets us talk to the Trust members, maybe have them as companions in the open world, maybe even have some personal quests to do with them etc. That could be neat.

So yeah, if they're something meaningful, then of course my choice would be Kan-E-Senna because she's 10/10 waifu.

[Jaywalker]

Cid & Nero, Aymeric, Estinien, Lyse, Urianger, Alisaie, Magnai & Sadu.
