So considering Hildibrand appears in a flash of light, does that make him an official Warrior of Light? Is that where he's been all this time: stuck in the time stream and not having come out when the rest of the legacy players did?

I, for one, welcome our lord and savior, Agent Hildibrand (and his cutely flustered miqo'te companion, too).
Thank you for this. Honestly, I never played much of 1.0 because of how absolutely atrocious it was at launch and the weeks following that yielded no sign of improvements, so I ended up quitting, though I was originally really anticipating the game back then. It was a huge letdown to me, sadly.
So I never got to experience Hildibrand. While I have become aware of who he was relatively, by means of people posting his pics and talking about him via different forums I never really understood just what he was all about other than the Comic Relief aspect. This video totally filled me in as to what happened with him and it was pretty damn hilarious/silly. Now I can enjoy his reappearance like everyone else.
Hildibrand will be discovered trapped in a chunk of crystal inside Turn 6, like a bug in amber. After you free him, he'll talk at length about how he had to survive on Dalamud for weeks eating nothing but antimatter slimes, and then rode one of the dislodged spear things down like the nuke from Dr. Strangelove once Bahamut got loose.
His assistant gave me the fire to strangle people! I am so thankful to this day for that.
"OMG YOU ATE HILDIBRAND!? I'LL SAVE YOU SIR!"
The Twelve save us all when they return.
So.
This Hildibrand dude...
Is he, like, the iligetiment Man-child of James Bond, Major Amstrong, and Pete the cat or something?
Because that is the vibe Im getting from this character...:I
Sweet! Can't wait to hear how he survived being launched into the stratosphere.
Honestly? Hildibrand is "that guy", maybe like someone you know, who somehow lucks into getting the credit, even if sometimes it's really someone else, like you, who does the actual legwork to figure stuff out.
At first I thought Ms. Mhakaracca knew he's not "all that", but sort of followed him anyway. Later it seemed even if she knows he's not supremely awesome, she's still his biggest fan and his completely devoted supporter/assistant.
As far as being a source of "much life" to v1.0, it was more like realizing the team could not only "fix what's broke" (as is said in southern USA), but could do some quality comedy as well, along with an epic theme song. At times Hildibrand is so ridiculous and over-the-top you can't help but laugh. And then you realize you're laughing while playing v1 and you know the game is in good hands. At least that's how it was for me.
It's really sad to see so many who don't realize the awesomeness of Hildibrand. It's almost like people don't realize that he's the one who saved us all from Bahamut.
Some infosQuote:
Hildibrand Returns
In an effort to unravel the mystery of Dalamud, the esteemed Hildibrand—agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire—was thrust to the heavens, never to be seen again. Carrying on the great detective's legacy, Nashu Mhakaracca works tirelessly to unravel the many mysteries which beleaguer Eorzea. With taverns throughout Ul’dah abuzz with talk of unusual zombie activity, her powers of deduction will soon be tested.
Hildibrand Manderville
If ever there was a crime to be solved, Hildibrand would surely be there to crack the case. Perhaps the greatest case of his time was Dalamud, and the prophecy foretelling its descent. Believing himself a hero of destiny, Hildibrand did bravely propel himself into the moon's path, but, alas, was never heard from again.
Nashu Mhakaracca
Nashu was Hildibrand’s faithful assistant up until his disappearance five years ago. Today, she carries on in the gentleman hero’s stead, offering the people of Eorzea her sleuthing services.
I have no idea who this guy is and it was the single most intriguing thing in the trailer.
He still reminds me of Nick Lachey :(
LMFAO..
Who is this Hildibrand
Who is Hildibrand you ask?
