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

At the very least push hildebrand to 100% optional content like the moogle mail quests. It was annoying to skip through all those cutscenes to re-unlock trial roulette, twice. Of course, we're likely going to have to suffer through another dozen quests to unlock the golden saucer.

I'm for keeping Hildebrande. It's ridiculous, mindless fun. I wouldn't call any raid hours of "content". It's hours of learning a dance to kill a monster, but it's not really hours worth of enjoyable "content". Questlines where you interact with the world, learn something about it, and help complete some task is hours of actual content.

Well said, well said. Yeah, "team jump rope" isn't something I look forward to, but rather dread.

I think the response of comunity is clear, MORE HILDI!
I am a raider, but I see no reason to not implement content which is avaible to everyone.

where the thumbs down on this thread this is just blasphemy, i havent had a god laugh in while because of this questline i want more.

That's how I feel about it, really. Sometimes I go out to that zombie gentlemen event because it's hysterical. I mean, who comes up with a zombie event where the mobs occasionally just stop attacking so they can flex? The whole questline from beginning to now was just so entertaining. I don't think it would be a good idea to start gutting that kind of content from the game. Ideally they should be able to develop both. I can't imagine that YoshiP truly said it would be one or the other. That must be a mistranslation or misinterpretation on the OP's part.

Hildebrand is literally the only thing in this game that has made me laugh out loud while I'm alone. It's hilarious and enjoyable, which is why so many people continue to ask for more. It's so nice to be able to take a break from grinding mindlessly for new shinies to refresh myself with some lighthearted humor and funny homages.

[StrejdaTom]

I think the main scenario should be developed in a style more similar to the Hildebrand questline. Progressing the main scenario in this fashion would be far more entertaining than our curent main scenario.

I consider Hildy and Mogquests the true FFXIV mainstory.

i did the 1st hildy line and thought it was pretty lame. Now I /sigh every time he's in the patch notes because it's just going to waste my time running around this dumb quest line skipping CSs. I wish they would at least separate it from the trial roulette, but now I have to sit through this junk every patch to get my roulette back. It's really getting old and annoying. I don't play ffxiv for over the top goofball humor and stupidly stretched faces in cut scenes. Please spend those dev hrs on ANYTHING else.

[Bernelli]

Anyone who says less Hildibrand is a joyless person.

I find that this here expresses my point of view about the Hildebrand quests. When I first did them, I found them to be campy (which I'm not a fan of) and I found that I mostly skipped through the cutscenes. The humor in the questline just isn't for me and a lot of the missions are like the main quest missions where it's a lot of go here, no go there, stand here, go back here, go back there. NOW watch your cutscene of progression. ENJOY HIS FUNNY FACES! OMG, IT'S SO FUNNY!!! WE'RE FUNNY, RIGHT!?

...Yeah... It's just not my type of fun and the plot line just never pulled me in. Now that his questline though keeps going and they keep involving the trial roulette, I found it to be pretty annoying. I accepted it for Gilgamesh but when Ultros came out...eeeehhh, I ended up just not getting my trial roulette back until way late.

It was also disappointing when it turned out the Gold Saucer was attached to Hildebrand...

I'm not like the OP though where I would like things like Savage Coil to be worked on. I would prefer more time taken for the main quest line to be something other than a boring series of "go-to" quests and easy dungeons. I would prefer everything to be developed to the same standard that the Hildebrand questline is, honestly. I'd prefer some time taken to develop truly original things that don't involve any past FF titles. I know people have a nostalgia thing going on with them but ST/CT/WoD would be infinitely more fascinating to me if it wasn't content that they just pulled in. I wish this game would get MORE original content.

So yeah, I know that the people will have Hildebrand continue. That's what I have to deal with. It's not my cup of tea though and I'm tired of them forcing him on me to get my roulette back.

Edit: My only real suggestion for this would be to make the Hildebrand questline like coil. Completely optional. Any Coils aren't needed to unlock any roulette. Hildebrand shouldn't be either.
