...you mean like the random adventurers we've spent the majority of the game doing trails with? 'cause the Warrior of Light, canonically, only soloed solo instances.
Yes but in that case the characters actually canonically don’t exist

The trust problem comes because the scions who are going to make up your party always show up like 2 quests before the trial than randomly disappear afterwards, like imagine if thancred, uriangier, yshtola and alphinaud showed up randomly to Susano even though only lyse and alisaie were actually in the far east and Y’shtola was half dead

Then after the trial they just randomly after a quest or two go “oh I have stuff to do” and just diffuse back away again

If they want to continue to use the trust system they should be using either random NPC’s we summon with azem’s crystal. Nameless NPC’s for no reason or members of groups that are actually organically there (like members of oblivion for the 99 dungeon)
