The One I Can Trust

I went thinking about the most important and memorable stories for me in this game, and realized that most of the lines that mattered most to me have been covered. Two types, though, haven't been touched so far as I am aware.

Relic weapons-- they are NPCs, and for much of the community, they were either a dream out of reach, or (back in the day) the pinnacle of success, our greatest moment of achievement. And while the question of WHICH relic is open, all of them lead very easily to two sphere functions. My nod is to Mandau-- crit hit rate, crit hit damage. Best, this thinking could easily lead to an entire line.


Crafting is the other thing near-and-dear to my heart, and I'd love a trust to come out and help with that. Mewk Chorosap for HQ Rate and Materials loss down (since kitron macarons pretty much cap success rate), would be fantastic, as the only character that I'm aware of that interacts with all crafts right now.

... The Arch Duke himself with Auto recover Hp/MP/TP, and Occ. Absorbe damage sphere effect.

I love the idea of Crit hit rate and damage though!

Voted for Gumbah with Haste and Regain

Rishfee, Haste/STP

I'd like a Lilith (WotG) trust. And since this a Trust and thus not something you'd likely be using with a party of actual players: "Regain" and "Alter Ego Expo Campaign HQ".

The latter being:
"Alter egos will receive the following improvements for the duration of the campaign.
- Alter egos' Maximum HP and MP are increased by 50%.
- Alter egos have stronger resistance to status ailments.
- When you take an amount of damage exceeding your remaining HP, you will negate the damage and restore your HP to its maximum value for one time only.*
* Does not apply to the "Iroha" alter ego.
* Does not apply to techniques such as the dark magic spell "Death" or the "Doom" special attack."

... since that actually makes full Trust parties somewhat useful :/

But since that's presumably not available, how about Sphere: Migawari? Yeah, that's right, as a Sphere effect so it automatically re-applies after it triggers. Because if it's a temporary trust might as well make it a memorable one.

I can't think of NPCs but I like these effects:

1.) Occ. doesn't deplete TP when doing a WS +10%
2.) Occ. doesn't deplete MP when casting +10%
3.) Max. HP/MP + 20% incl. Pets
4.) Double afterglow/aftermath duration
5.) Increased duration of 1-hr abilities
6.) synthesis skill gain rate +5%, success/HQ rate+1%
7.) All stats+10, DT-10% (incl. pets)
8.) Food duration/effect +50%, Occ. doesn't deplete food

Trust:Wolfgang (from cop storyline)
Abilities: Cover, Flash

why?: because i always thought he was a cool NPC...

Titania (Pixie queen from the past, Witchfire glen)

Auto Reraise (Because she'll Raise III dead people)
Magic Eva+ (couldn't think of another sphere)

I want to submit Pet stats, but not sure which. Maybe just Attack and Magic Attack as the most universally helpful ones.

As for which NPC, finally being able to summon Bahamut but as a limited time, passive alter ego would be hilarious.

You know, I was thinking of some GEO effects to add in, but wasn't even thinking about haste. An indi-haste impossible to kill trust would be goddamn amazing.

BLU trust pl0x

Only real answer tbh

That's a nice one.
I voted for Ygnas with STP/Haste, but frankly I'd be more than happy with Anyone giving anything/haste.
As long as the second aura is Haste it's gonna be lovely.

I don't know about you guys but I want a Shadow Lord trust! I'm not sure what buffs he should give. Occasionally summons Yin and Yang? Lol

Ilumida = STP/Haste II Effect


She must stay in her rocking chair!

+level

I was thinking a crafting trust, the only trust you can call in town and cant be used for combat. Can either give success rate +, skill uprate + craft skill +. Thoughts?

Why not some kind of crafting trust? I think it is safe to assume they won't give us a battle trust any more or less useless than what is already available.

Sphere effect #1: HQ rate up
Sphere effect #2: Material loss rate down

Haha, Tuvae--I had the same thought.

Doubt they will allow that. Will be like "too many technical hurdles"

Quasilumin with Haste and Store TP.

These NPCs all had interesting dialogue and they look pretty cool.

tanaka trust, just nerfs/balances the target

People really shouldn't vote for any NPC with battle animations (like Ygnas) as those could be an actual Trust.
(With Ygnas it would be super easy to just port his SR version to a full Trust.)

The winning Trust will just be a bubble.
No attacks.
No WSs.
No abilities.
No spells.

My vote was for Yve'noile with Regain and Haste. I thought about maybe Cure Potency Received... but figured if I said Haste, then whoever wins will probably at least get Haste.

It's possible SE gives this at least a little bit of effort. They did include hundreds of player sound bytes singing "la la la" at the end of Rhapsodies, so.. there's that.

I voted for Ygnas with regain aura. Lets see what happens in September.

Oseem.

Sphere #1: Better fing augments.
Sphere #2: Better fing augments.

I'm sure this will turn into occasionally grants higher values... and increases odds of getting off path lol

But you can't use Trusts in Norg, so they'll probably do it.

I went with Ultimate weapon (eg relic empy mythic aeonic)
+1 Aftermath
#2 Storetp
I'm sure it has no chance in hell of winning and I'm mostly hoping it gives them the idea to try.

Voted for Cornelia with regain and I think haste. What better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary.
