English translation: "This is still at the idea stage and not a decided specification, but we're not considering simply raising the Trust's parameters (this is exactly what they ended up doing). For example, we're thinking of equipment-like items that can be set for each type, such as shield-type or mage-type trusts. It's an image similar to Automaton attachments. For a shield type, things that make them stronger against physical attacks or magic attacks could be set, allowing some degree of customization in direction. However, it's still a conceptual stage, so if it becomes too complicated, we might revise it, and actual adjustments are expected to start from next year onward."

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.

a good question for this thread now that we know a little more about the upgrade is: What fight will you be able to win with the new trust system that you weren't able to win with the old system?

We are paying a full monthly sub comparable to World of Warcraft and FF14 to a billion dollar company, that are offering barely anything for that money due to only having 2 developers working on the game and the one thing they were working on that a lot of people were looking forward to they are giving the bare minimum version of.

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.

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)!
