Trusts and suggested Characters

[Mahoukenshi]

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

Gimme also Sylphie from the Conjurer questline and a clone version of Mylla the Gladiator instructor. Aldis would work as well .

The only one I want is Nero.

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.

Nothing is ever impossible when it comes to lore, since the lore is forever being written. In the case of Shantotto, yes as of now she returned to Vana'diel, but come later in say 5.4 or whatever, if SE wants to bring her back as part of the lore and story. Nothings really stopping them from doing so. Technically any NPC could be included if SE wants to write them into the developing story.

oh, didn´t even think about him.... now i need him as trust...

Also, Estinien would be nice; give me that grumpy dragoon.

I would have liked the trust system not depending too much on the msq/lore.
Because i really want Haurchefant as my Paladin of trust.

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.

Nashu Mhakaracca - AoEs enemies with her bombs.

Greg - Might randomly open a portal to the last boss of the dungeon. Attacks with either Excalibur (for massive damage) or Excalipoor (for 1 damage).

While more trusts would be nice. I think I'd like a bit more variety in the choices, especially for DPS. To quote an FC mate, "right now we just have Booms, Stabs, and Booms with Stabs"

I would also like an indepth breakdown of how they function. You see little things during gameplay, but not everything. I wanna know what moves they use, what they say in battle to indicate things, and who they pair well with. We all know the Twins pair well together, and I just recently learned that if Thancred has Ryne in the party, he can do the Continuation rotation. These are interesting tidbits I'm sure most people wanna know.

Our retainers.

The MSQ version is.

The post msq version is not.

You actually dont want the twins together. They dont lose any skills, and alphinaud prioritizes Alisae for actions if they're together instead of the tank or himself.

[Astrus]

A second tank. I don't particularly care who it is just give me a second tank option.

[brasteir]

I think duels with zenos where you have to deal with all sorts of raid/trial similar mechanics should be an addition to SSS

[LLSmoothJ]

Alts. Just let me use my Alts as Trusts and I'll be satisfied.

In all seriousness, being able to select the class/job quest givers would be nice to.
