Any more info on trusts?

Remember that AI you saw scions using in Instanced Battles that was avoiding AoEs and stacking with you for the last few years?

I noticed it getting increasingly sophisticated over the last two years. It's not a huge stretch to think this is the AI it's based upon.

But wouldn't this just make the GC teams useless?

I think GC teams are just for roleplaying the commanding of a squadron.

Yoshi-P's motivation seemed to be that he wanted the captain rank to feel like you're a captain, unlike other games where they are ranks for the sake of being ranks. They want you to feel like you are in command so they let you control them.

Of course, there's an incentive for roleplaying it. Some glamour, emotes and other rewards and you may find them useful for XP or loot runs.

Trusts are different because they are not tied to Grand Company ranks; therefore you're not their leader and you don't control them. They are their own people so Yoshi-P wants them to make their own, independent decisions, each with their own personality.

You can see how they behave in media tour videos on youtube, but it spoils one of the new leveling dungeons. They are nothing like GC teams. You can watch or wait two weeks to see it for yourself.
