So many questions regarding the Trust-system

[Iscah]

It's been mentioned in an interview that the slowness is deliberate, so it isn't better than playing with a (decently-skilled) human party.

I've done the first two dungeons with trusts now, and I think they may be programmed to do mechanics better when you're doing them? Either that or I was so out of position for Lv71 second boss mechanics that it was confusing the AI...

I've also noticed they'll stack for a stack marker, but in the centre of the arena rather than moving towards you if you have it.

They're good for demonstrating some ideas and strategies though, like coming close to the Lv71 final boss when targeted for his trap attack, so they have less distance to run out of the AoE once they're freed.

Also, as a probably-mediocre summoner, I've been finding Topaz's shield ability very useful to survive some boss mechanics. I might not have thought of using that in a full party situation, but when it's all up to me, it makes me think more about what I could do better.



(Also, it was lovely to just be able to stop for a minute and admire the scenery in Dohn Mheg, or take a rest after I'd failed a boss battle a couple of times, or rearrange my hotbars.)
