Shadowbringers has been a homerun, but I also have big issues with this decision. It feels like a bait and switch to have your Trusts "delevel" after finishing the MSQ, and the game punishes you for progressing. The amount of EXP you need to level your Trusts is ridiculous, especially if you play as a tank or healer. Then whenever you do play a DPS later on, Thancred, Alphinaud, and/or Urianger will be stuck at 71 even though you could have all of the DPS Trusts leveled.

This is a big oversight and SE should reconsider how demanding the Trust System should be after completing the story.
