I personally enjoy the Hildibrand storyline. Its a nice break from the main story, and the fights are more fun. I dont think I would ever do Savage Coil.

the forums are a place of exchange, you are free to post here something you might deem more worthy of the devs' resources than hildibrand. Yet you didn't in any of your posts, so I wonder why you keep on saying it could be allocated elsewhere.
God no. Hildibrand's questline is amongst the best produced pieces of content in the entire game. It's a fantastic addition.
I tried to like the Hildy quests..I just couldn't.
I see no problem in making them an optional thing, but don't make me have to go through them to unlock anything else in future :<
Super lazy.
It's ironic how this thread exploded with support for continued Hildibrand content. Aside from one or two borderline trolls, the loudest objections are "I don't care for it" and "Don't make it part of Trial Roulette."
I like Hildi content well enough, but it's what I do after I've experienced everything else new in a patch. Hildi quests are fun palate-cleansers, especially when most everything else is fairly serious business. When you're in the mood for a farce, they do the job.
Exactly! I like the hildibrand content. It's a great distraction and good for a laugh.
That said, the idea of the team that does Hildirand developing a raid sounds kind of awesome. Assuming they apply the same mindset and level of difficulty that they use for the Hildibrand questline.

I'll bite since WHS has not responded. It comes down to culture; this quest lines use humor and stereotypes that would make sense to people familiar with Japanese culture. The fact that Godbert walks around with little clothing, there's all that posturing and talk about being a gentleman, etc, could all be construed as homosexual to people who have not experienced it before. Personally, I came across this while reading the Oh My Goddess series, so while I am by far no expert in Japanese culture, I know enough to know Godbert is a sterotype. Maybe someone more immersed in the culture to speak.
So smashing big monsters with GSM hammer and suplex'ing random people while exhibiting some muscles is now a gay standard in some people's head ? Might be fun to be them.I'll bite since WHS has not responded. It comes down to culture; this quest lines use humor and stereotypes that would make sense to people familiar with Japanese culture.

First thing to do when you play an Eastern game, learn a bit about Eastern culture. Their games, their culture, their references and comical situations. I thought that was a given >_>
If I had to guess (and remember I am speaking on behalf of these people), Godbert's lack of clothing and all the posturing would be the areas that could be construed at homoerotic/homosexual.So smashing big monsters with GSM hammer and suplex'ing random people while exhibiting some muscles is now a gay standard in some people's head ?

Godbert is a little too manly to fall into American gay stereotypes, too, IMO. Maybe it stems from the quest in the storyline where you have to oil Godbert up. If you play a female character it's not gay, but if you play a male character it could be awkard if you forget that it's just a game.![]()
