I feel they kind of screwed the pooch here to be honest regarding the scions. With some exceptions, we really weren’t that involved with the scions in 2.0-4.0. I never felt like part of their team until 5.0; up until then I was always the glorified errand boy/Alphinaud’s babysitter.

No hate for the scions, just always felt I was my own faction...I mean they never joined me on my adventures until they were practically forced to in 5.0. Am I even a member of the scions? Even the minor characters like hoary boulder...who is this guy? Why is he so chummy with me? Sure I’d love to hang out with him sometime.

Now, a general TLC update, with adjustments to story and trust system implemented at 2.0 could be fantastic.

Alternatively have them show up in instances like the Ala Migho or Gimlyt Dark dungeon to help. Anything to show me they are actively fighting for or with me.
