The quests will begin in Patch 6.25, so those of you who’ve yet to catch up on all the Hildibrand sidequests may want to get caught up before then.

I mean with the way this game loves to dictate story with almost all forms of content. It was expected. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask its own playerbase to do a very easy questchain that can be done in a day with cutscene skipping if you didn't care for the story anyway. Especially since they announced this was gonna be a thing months ago, people had plenty of time to do it if they care about diving into relic quests immediately.

Actually surprised to find people whom haven't done it since there's a couple of trials locked behind it and that's content.

Only if, by the term "the WoW crowd" you mean the sudden influx of players from that game after the disaster that is Shadow Lands. There are some of us who played both WoW and FFXIV concurrently. Me, for instance. It was no longer worth my time to play WoW back when BFA came out, so that's 4 years worth of WoW I haven't been playing.

The need to retcon the entirety of the lore about Dragons in their next expansion sounds like "meh, I'll pass" to me.

Pretty weird thing to say when you make a 10 years old quest chain mandatory to unlock an unrelated current content.

Jobs come to mind.

XI should be the blueprint of how to tie jobs into lore, without needing to do a billion missions to unlock it.....

Then again, I could always buy a job boost ticket to unloc......Ahhhhhhh........I see..........

Yes. And thanks to this, all that MSQ content has to be catered to all the players who'd rather just spend their time with Island Sanctuary, Housing, Fishing or other non combat features.
