Yoshi P, please use future development time on content other than Hildibrand.

[Curia_Regis]

Recently, Yoshi P. said that whether or not the Hildibrand questline continues into 3.0 is up to the players. I am personally of the opinion that development time could better be used on things than an optional questline.

To illustrate what I mean by this, please look at the patch 2.5 trailer and information slides we saw at Fanfest in Japan. Hildibrand is continuing to be implemented all throughout 2.5, but Savage Final Coil appears to not have materialized. This means that when the choice was made, Hildibrand was placed higher on the totem than Savage Final Coil. Savage Second Coil, while not done by many players, was definitely hours upon hours of content that could be tackled (and still can be). Overall, I think this makes the game's content more rich from a purely time based perspective. I guess what I am trying to say is that I think developing something like Savage Coil adds more to the game from a content perspective than a set of optional cutscenes.

If you agree with the sentiments I have expressed here, let me know by signing my petition or posting here.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hildebrand appeals to a much much much much much (xAlot) wider portion of the playerbase than Savage Coil, it's a no brainer why Hildebrand would take precedence.

I agree Hildebrands cutscenes are better made than many main scenario ones

[Cutie_McSnuggles]

I'm sorry. But I can't agree with this. Hildibrand is an excellent addition to the game.

I am fairly certain the people working on the Hildibrand aspects of the game are not the same working on Savage Coil.

You've got people that haven't even beaten Second Coil, people that haven't even beat First Coil, and you think Savage Final Coil is going to draw enough players to make it worthwhile? Hildibrand is very widely loved. He was in the 1.x FFXIV, and ARR launched and he wasn't there, so many people were asking for him to return they made a whole ongoing questline.

Even if it's just a bit of lighthearted fun, I'd prefer Hildibrand over anything.

Not only do I find Hildebrand to be a waste of development time, but I think the inclusion of classic FF references in such a poorly written, poorly thought out event is a bastardization of the characters many of us hold dear. That isn't even to scrape the surface of Hildebrand's father entering the storyline and having SE force the homonormative privileges of today's tumblr generation upon the FFXIV community.

Savage Second Coil failed. It had no real reward, so no one ran it. Sure, some really hardcore (and very bored) statics ran it...but once cleared, that was it. And it was only the top percent (or less) that ever cared about Savage (before we found out there were no rewards). If it had rewards...yeah, no one would have ran it still, it required the best gear to attempt and a lot of groups threw a ton of gil at it in the form of penta-melded i90 accessories...and that's saying nothing about the skill and coordination also required from the players.

Hildibrand makes people laugh; its great, well-written content that I would love to replay again if I could (and do watch the cutscenes occasionally). Everyone can enjoy it, and there is a reason to run them (Trial Roulette and mini-games) even if you don't.

We need more Hildibrand, not less

[Vespar]

I think most of us agree that we'd rather see more Hildy quests. Bring on the Inspector Extraordinaire! <3

[AyrJordan]

I identify as good-taste-kin and Hildibrand is offensive to me.

[Vespar]

Lol how is Hildy offensive at all ?? I think if an entire boat load of folks begged for Hildy to join us in ARR, they obviously enjoyed his story line.
