Trusts and suggested Characters

[TwiibieTwuu]

Spoilers (Obviously)

But are there any characters you would like to see added to the trust system as potential companions?

Maybe hide a few in the open world or behind quests?

A few I've thought of

Crystal Exarch - they didn't have to remove him >:

Captain Lyna - Same reason as Exarch

Lyse Hext - Because we need more fists.

Estinien Wyrmblood - gotta get the bouncy grumpy one perhaps give him a unique "Azure Dragoon" for his class name

Fray Myste / of the Onyx Shade - A quest reward for DRK

Shantotto - BLM quest reward

Hildibrand Manderville - "Gentleman of Light" He doesn't fight, all he does is pose. this is enough of a reason for all enemies to ignore you and go for him.

Ardbert - Completion of Shadowbringers

Branden - Completion of Tank questline

Renda-Rae - Completion of DPS questline

Nyelbert - Completion of DPS Caster questline

Lamitt - Completion of Healer questline


Perhaps even a few other Crossover characters?

Who do you guys suggest?

[AdventZero]

Job quest related NPC's. Like Raya-O if you've done WHM, or Hilda if you've done MCH, Stuff like that.

[Penthea]

Hildibrand Manderville - "Gentleman of Light" He doesn't fight, all he does is pose. this is enough of a reason for all enemies to ignore you and go for him.

My god, this would be amazing.

You do realize FFXIV's Trust system is nothing like FFXI's and so the NPCs forming your party are the actual npc, and are not a magical construct like the FFXI version? Hence why it's impossible for Shantotto and other crossover characters to be a part of it - Shantotto for instance returned to Vana'diel ages ago, so she's out completely. And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Trusts here relevant to the story dungeon to be undertaken hence why the selection is limited?

I hate to say it, but you're not going to see much of an expansion into FFXI's version, that's just facing facts. Really you're more likely to see an expansion of the Company squadron into more content - the Trust system will probably remain SHB centric due to lore reasons.

[TwiibieTwuu]

due to lore reasons.

Once you finish Shadowbringers pretty much all the trusts become not lore friendly. you can bring Ryne and Y'shtola to the ver first dungeon, that's quite awhile before you actually meet them storywise. I expect future MQS dungeons will be the same where you can only select from the cannon roister complete it the first time then it becomes a uncannon dungeon.

[AnimaAnimus]

I don't see Runar, aka the best non-main npc they added this expac

[AlphaFox]

I'd say Tataru but only cus I get a chuckle out of the disobeying summon.

[EdwinLi]

I suspect we may get...

Young G'raha Tia

To replace Exarch (with his lvl 80 1st alternate outfit being Crystal Exarch outfit) sometime in 5.X MSQ as our permanent version for Trust.

[Hypnotic13371337]

Gnath Deftarm?


Gnath Deftarm.


In all seriousness he could be like a ranged pDPS/mage unit

[AmemeAmeklin]

(Note: According to the achievement descriptions, you're fighting with 'avatars' of your friends.)

Hraesvelgr - Midgardsormr finally got him to work on himself so he wasn't such a sad sack, and we get to take him adventuring with us. He spends most of his time muttering under his breath and blocking the camera. Soon voted least favorite trust.

Baby Midgardsormr - All he does is fly behind you and make sage remarks about the folly of man and how weird mortals are.

Alpha - uses his cards in battle! Also randomly makes you invisible.

Nero - Smugly tells you about all his latest gadgets/improvements. Makes fun of you when you die.

As for young G'raha being a possibility, I agree...but he wouldn't be an all-rounder, I don't think. He was originally an archer, which just means having a fourth DPS. They'd have to figure out how to change his job, I guess. He sure won't be throwing out benediction in between flares like Exarch.
