Endwalker Relics

I can't believe we're required to do 5 hours of side content to unlock EW relics, previous relics didn't have any such grind associated with them. They should have at least given us warning in advance that we would have to do this to unlock them.

1. Yes, previous relics did.
2. They already gave previous warning.
3. Poor bait, it tastes rancid.

if you truly needed to do 5 hours of hildibrand you clearly did more than the last few quests (and you also didn't skip the cutscenes, skip everything and the thing can easily be done in 2,5 hours or so if you just hammer the skip button.) so you got to experience an actual storyline, silly as it is, unlocked several emotes, glamour items and trials. and yes, previous relics did require several hours of time investments to even get started, no bozja without ivalice raids for example.

they also gave us a heads up that we need to complete the hildibrand questline, more than once in fact, and considering you didn't find the forums just yesterday i frankly just don't believe you that you didn't get the memo.

To be fair I do dislike it but at this point I've accepted doing it, like it's really annoying but it's also whatever really, I'm used to "talk to npc" the game

I guess now i can have some funny emotes

not only /skipcutcsene but /skipthread too..,
with a side /lockedzone-thread..,

it could be worse.., it could be tied to some other thing that actually requires more work out if you.

that said, the reasoning behind the Relics actually makes sense anyways.

and are actual Relics like the ARR kind..,<minus the original pieces of the old relics>

I'll just say that Hildibrand's content are really fun and amazing. And...
Yoshi-P tells us that require this one, since half year, for your Endwalker's relics...

Didn't Bozja require the 24-man from SB or something?

There have been tie-ins of old content to unlock new relics before. This is nothing new. And just like before, we had ample time to do it. At least with Hildabrand, you could probably skip all of the CS and solo (or duo) all of the instances unsync'd and complete it under 45 minutes. Possibly less.

The 24-man pre-req for some other relic... that took hours simply because you can't unsync the content and the queues were long.

Yeah, why do they make us do the MSQ to get to new weapons? /s

Yes, they required completion of the Ivalice raids to access Bozja. Which, at least so far, ties in more than what has happened with the first step of the EW relics.

Honestly, this first step could have been done without the inspector being involved, but it is what it is(and I generally enjoyed the Hildebrand quest series, so I'm not disappointed with it myself)

I can't believe they had the gall to force me to input my login password in order for me to launch the game in order to do EW relic. That's already 3 steps!

They did give a warning.

You just elected to either ignore it or not pay attention. The onus is on you here.

The real grind is yet to come. If the first step of completing the Hildebrand joke series is a deterent, don't know how you'll survive grinding out materials/light/whatever they make us grind out for them. And if the RNG is as bad as it was for the Atma, good luck with that.

This thread's gotta be a joke, but there are people seriously foaming at the mouth over this in-game like they weren't given months of advanced notice. Starting from the first day notice was given, you literally could've done 1 quest a day and still had time to spare. And even if you never found out, honestly, the content gets released on a damn drip feed. You have months before step 2 gets released.
