Squadron changes I'd like to see going foward.

Maybe I just never understood how it worked but it seemed you couldn't go through available candidates without rejecting those before. I would like to be able to look through all available candidates. I understand you can get them back eventually. It just seems like they really didn't think it through.

You can, you just click postpone instead of reject, and it takes you to the next.

Yes please. To all of it. We really need more squadron. Trusts are not even a valid replacement, I love squads and hate trusts.

Postpone just exits. I have to dismiss to see the next person. I'm assuming after dismissal I have to earn that particular person again if I want them, which I understand is connected to the challenge log.

Yup, more love for squadrons, retainers, companions and trust.

A revamp on all those, in an ideal world:
- Chocobo ranking system expanded
- Chococo to dungeons
- Squadron level cap increase
- Number of Squadron recuits increase
- New races and variants to squadrons
- Use retainers as squadrons
- Jobs to squadrons
- Squadrons/retainers to overworld
- Trust and personalities AI to squadrons
- More trust NPCs (and let us use all of them unrestricted on second clear on)

Hear me, as a software deveoper myself I know thats a lot of work but if do it smartly you can save lots of dev time.

The AI battle script cheat sheet per role is the key, they are using it on trust dungeons so they can succeed clearing it, maybe they are scipting movement for each trust NPC but even so using them as base for the more "generic" squadrion npcs or using a couple of personality script per role for squadrons/companion/retainers

Or scratch all that and make a NEW deep dungeon/eureka instanced with random look on rooms and bosses where you can take a revamed AI for squadrons/trust/retainers/companion that can be used to level your jobs and the NPCs (as squadrons and trust do)

That's weird, when I have more than one postpone always takes me to the next, only case it exits is if I don't have more.

I tried just a little bit ago. Postpone just exited. Opened it up again and dismissed that one. Then it asked if I wanted to look at the remaining and it shows me another one. I assume I have a ton of them since I’ve done a lot of the challenge log and probably haven’t changed anyone in a year or more.

I have 8 max level people but they are mostly the first ones plus the first few applicants that came to me. I just stuck with them because it was such a hassle just to look at anyone else.

If they ever rework the system my first request would be to let as see a list. Also let us have more people. From what I read a squadron is at least 30 people or 12 planes.

I would definitely like some 60 -70 Dungeons for the Squad because there are some classes I'm not that good at but I do want to level them for the armaro mount. I'd much rather do the levelling with the squad than inflict myself on other people (and I'm sure other people would prefer that, too!).

I'd also like some updated rewards. I worked so hard to get the chemistry for materia because it was very useful at the time. Now the materia is at a level nobody needs or really uses.
New chemistries with better rewards would be an easy way to get people interested in their squads again.

The biggest issue for me with the whole Squadron thing is, that its basically not worth doing it and dont feel rewarding. Everything you get from doing Squadron is just for the Squadron, the dungeons take longer than doing them normal. You are not compensated enough for doing them, they are not worth the time if you think about lvling with them. Once you got the max lvl and unlocked every Dungeon their is no reason sticking around with them. You don't get any unique or useful stuff from it. Why should we lvl and max them if there is nothing useful you could use them for?

Well there are the workout emotes. You can get some MGP and also buffs that are equivalent to some FC actions.

Once they're fully levelled, including offensive 5, they're a lot faster than actual players, not to count the lack of dps queue. And way less painful than the general pugs tbh.
A great way to learn how to play your class well also.
