    Trust Jobs and classes mostly seem not to play with the same rules as players, with Alphinaud having access to a carbuncle egi (I personally hope we get access to carbuncle egis for SCH too) as well as Uriangr being reported to have BLM's Aetherial Manipulation as he's scripted to cast it in the media tour's final dungeon boss when someone reaches said boss, though I'm not sure if AST will be getting that as a skill in Shadowbringers

    Its probably best to assume that Trusts will sometimes not play with the same restrictions players have to so that they can both feel more interesting and compensate for any NPC quirks like low DPS

    Yeah, NPCs don't have to play by the same rules as players, and some gameplay rules exist just for the sake of gameplay and not lore. Like the carbuncle thing, there's really no particular reason an arcanist turned scholar shouldn't be able to have a carbuncle out and still cast scholar spells.

    speaking of Arcanist, they said that trusts can be unlocked. Now I'm wondering if Tataru can be unlocked as a joke trust, she has access to a arcanist/summoner skill set to make up for a lack of a pet, and her damage output is the bare minimum for a dungeon
