Squadron to max level

[Aeidis]

Are there any plans on bringing squadron back to max level? I really enjoyed this system and preferred it over Trusts. I understand it didn't make sense for them to be in ShB dungeons.

Also it would be nice having the option of using a squadron member as a companion instead of your chocobo

You preferred a system that is limited to classes and not jobs. Which does mostly less dps, has trouble holding area aggro (where you have to take aggro 1 by 1) and heal more than 3 mobs on the tank.

Amazing...
But, it's not like that's going to happen, the trust system is clearly better and it's the system Yoshi-P chose

What?
I would prefer to do dungeons with them instead of the trusts.
You can order them around and and they are faster then your random DF group.
I would like to see them continue that.

Not true. Squadrons do far more dps if you invest in them. This is because they can be customized with Mastery traits, including an Offensive trait. A full Offence 5 Squadron with the optimal classes can clear Aurum Vale or Sohm Ahl in 12-14 minutes, instant queues and 0 risk of drama or bad players. Squadrons are very underrated and literally the fastest alt leveling in the game from 20-60 once you have them set up. Sure, they take some micromanaging, but it's easy to clear the best leveling dungeons with any class once you understand how the AI works.

Trusts on the other hand cannot be customized and are extremely slow by design. Personally that makes all the difference for me. Trusts are even intentionally designed to lower their dps if you do too much, so that you always spend roughly half an hour there, punishing good play and encouraging you to half-afk. Trusts may have far superior AI, but they're simply boring. It's boring to chew through mob packs one by one at a snails pace. So yes, I absolutely prefer Squadrons.

Obviously they're not going to dump Trusts, but a fair compromise would be to update Squadrons to 70, then add a few dps traits you can gradually unlock once you've leveled your Trust to 80.

Let me first say that I do not doubt you in any way whatsoever, and my purpose here is to ask for advice, not to antagonize or contradict you. I often have a hard time with Myath in Sohm Ahl. It feels like a crap shoot with respect to whether or not we're able to take down the appropriate primordials before the group wipes. I've been going off this guide here: https://smolsquintina.wordpress.com/...mission-guide/

Do you have any suggestions for making this go more smoothly?

I had to laugh as I read this. Alphy enjoys standing in AOEs and Alisae gets one shotted cause she never moves fast enough.

Trusts is the new squadron. I don't see them returning to give updates to Squadron.

No.
Just no.
Let the Squadron system dies.
Getting 10 completion for the emotes was enough suffering.

What is the "Getting 10 completion for the emotes"?
