they are giving the bare minimum version of.
Still at it, keep it up!
Fujito (from the Dengeki Online interview)
Your sited source is a year old from the 2025 23rd anniversary interview, a lot has happened in a year...
You should really update your information, but since I'm in a good mood I'll do it so ppl aren't being mislead
"Initial phase boosting hp, mp and base stats"
Instead we get a merit system.
Let me correct this, in
addition we get a merit system, the rest of the system is still being developed (by one guy who's also pulling all nighters wrapping up limbus)
In March they held a special Primed for Adventure interview with Fujito and an EN interpreter on twitch answering primarily questions about the trusts, this is the most relevant
timestamp here they say they are aiming for
end of year 2026 to have the trust attachments added.
At the same time they updated their lore website We are Vana'diel with all the trust information and more
https://we-are-vanadiel.finalfantasyxi.com/post/?id=922
Which is where the other planned upgrades come from as well as this image, describing each trust role, tank, melee fighter, etc is going to have it's own equipment page
I don't play puppetmaster much, but you can buy attachments to improve things such as the potency of regen, emnity or other things when equipped. It would not have been difficult for them to use this system, and instead make it allow certain spells of weapon skills to be used when equipped. You could have custom built trust AI with attachents, in regards to spells and weapon skills. The base system is there, they would have just needed to alter how it worked.
What is this comment even mean? "It would not have been difficult for them to use this system" They are using it and have even said a few of the attachments they are planning to add such as OAT crazy!!
They've also added a nugget of information in that website "We also planning to implement new content that you can take on alongside your upgraded alter egos". Limbus is already out, we know of the addon story HTBFs, could be those, but it could also be something entirely different. Don't know for now, maybe this weekend we get a peek.
They've also talked before about how they are going to implement these attachments, I don't remember which aman live it was nor do I care to look for it, but they said they were toying with the idea of adding new open world NMs across vana'diel as well as possibly making the attachments craftable. We'll see in time how it all pans out.
I was considering coming back...I guess I should be thankful he is saving me £80 a month
We are paying a full monthly sub
You ain't payin ***
Honestly haven't been able to take you serious this whole thread and I hope noone else has.
For the rest of us, I'm looking forward to all the trust updates, I use them everyday and I'm glad that it's not a tacked on extra grind to compete with limbus, odyssey or sortie.
Make sure to do the upcoming
new moogle anni event!! Trust Tome (100 points)!
