will we eer get a "Trust system" like what 11 has?

Rather than this system, I'd prefer it if we got a "Chocobo feather" item like that one kid wore on his hair in Final Fantasy: Ultimate that let's us speak to our Choco companion and understand what he's saying. That should give them the personality and stuff that the people in this thread seem to desire. There are plenty of human "NPCs" in this game, and I'd much rather they expand upon this existing system rather than dumpster it for something from 1.0.

Just so long as your Chocobo companion isn't making lewd passes at the player, like the 1.0 companions did!

I miss my path companion...evil lil caster!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe when you chose them it would go into a cut scène and you would view various random ones? and they would tell you a bit of a story about each one? Or maybe I'm thinking of something different. They asked various questions of what you'd like. Or maybe that was retainers??

I find it interesting that you can chose a voice for your retainer (seems like it was mentioned here already), but of all the times I have called my retainer I've never heard their voice, maybe that could be our trust system? or maybe bring back the 1.0 companions, we can only hope,

While I did once wonder why they allowed us to select a "voice" for retainers I eventually just figured it was "easyer" for the dev team to use the Character Creator to let us make our Retainers as they were trying to rebuild a game from the ground up and had a lot or preasure with little time for some things that seamed to small to work hard on (like the texture detail on old 2.0 gear, zoom in on old 1st coil gear & compaire the texture detail to 2nd coil gear... not sure if they even cared to fix this when they added the "replica" versions)

That said I would welcome a NPC, non-bird, ally for open world ( would just make my "new" NPC ally look like a retainer I use class & all just for the lol's if they went that way)
