Any chance we can get Trust system as open world content?

I just hate the Chocobo Companion. It was a pretty stupid system to bring in. I do not remember Cloud fighting Sephiroth with a chocobo. I do not remember Tina fighting Kefka with a Chocobo. I do not remember Tidus fighting Sin with a chocobo. I do nto remember a chocobo becoming one of the Warriors of Light to fight Exdeath. I could go on and on. Point being Chocobo Companions do not belong in the game.

Single-player FF games do not count though as you're usually playing as a party of player characters not just one. The FF MMOs have a different design paradigm which is meant to be you controlling a single character in parties alongside other players), but does have options for solo-content, which for open-world content here in FFXIV is the Chocobo Companion (FFXI had it's NPC Fellow originally and now has the Trust System). I agree that having a chocobo fight alongside you.... is rather underwhellming and would like an alternative (I personally would prefer to have my old Path Companion return from FFXIV 1.0), but I think Yoshi has made his choice and thus alas we will not see a change to the Chocobo Companion.

Apparently there was rumours that the GC Squadron would be usable in open-world content but that has never eventuated either sadly.

Also FF Tactics allows you to recruit chocobos to your party and have them fight as controllable units in battle, but that was a strategy RPG that does things differently to the 'main' FF series so it doesn't really count.

It a shame we got stuck with the dumb bird. As it pretty much useless. It can not hold agro as a tank. It healing is trash and it dps is trash. At less with the trust system they can do their job. If you where to go into a dungeon with 3 Chocobos. Well you are screwed.
