Trust system for Trials

[Moonlite]

The thing is that to have Trust doing Trials during Stody mode, you would need every of your Trust members to present at that part of the story. What if some of the Trust member are missing because they have their own stuffs to do? You will have to have temporary Trust like Lina in ShB's first dungeon, which means developers have to design single-use Trust with proper rotations. Then again, the story writer has to make sure there are enough Trust standing in front of the Trials' portals to fill 7 party member slots for a story-mode trial, restricting the flow of the story.

If you suggest Trust for Avatar mode where you have all members available are not restricted by the story, sure, but what is the point? You can only get Avatar Mode of something after complete it, nullify the need of being able to do Trial with Trust, and sound like extra work for nothing for developers. Assuming you use Trust to learn trials' mechanic, I'm not sure how learning trials' normal mechanic will be a lot helpful for extreme version.

Why not just generic skinned trusts? Taking away the AI issues. Having more trusts is just a reskin of current ones to increase the amount. I am actually surprised and still think it would happen is unique cash shop trusts. FF 11, 13 and 15 already have models in the game. And as much as i disagree with people that FF14 clearly has pay to win mechanics. Cash shop trusts would be no more pay to win then skips or retainers.

Trials have tended to be get some of your adventurer friends together so they could always do random creation of Trust members should they decide to go this route. I still hope they don't as the current AI isn't going to help them keep interesting mechanics in Trials and I'd rather they put the time and effort into things that more players will enjoy than making a better AI for Trial trust members.

Cash shop trusts could just be so that players can use specific skins for trust members.
