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

Hildibrand is love Hildibrand is life.

Possibly the only real side quest I actually enjoy out of the sea of other monotonous side quests.

OP should have left it at the tittle. Some of us don't care for the quest line and would rather see it go to something else. That seems like a reasonable request honestly if you are unhappy with the quest line. Tying it to savage coil is just asking for a troll fest though.

I (and what I have gathered other hildy dislike-ers) would like to see:

*disconnect the quest line from trial roulette (and not tied to golden saucer if it is planned that way). If it's optional make it optional like coil. It's billed as a fun optional quest. I don't see a Mog mailman boss fight in my roulette, or twintania in my roulette. Leave optional as optional.


I personally would rather see the quests dropped all together and develop something else. Not savage, but content with replay value. I generally don't care for seeing dev time go to 1 off things. You do hildy once and never again. A new gameplay system you do forever. Choco racing, hunts, gardening, crafting, pvp, housing, etc. They are largely perpetual. You do them, revisit them, over and over for months or years. That is dev time we'll spent. Not on another 10 fetch quests you do once, watch a cut scene (or even skip it) and forget about it for the next 5 years.

If I want a 1 time entertainment experience I'll go to the movies. I play MMOs for perpetual entertainment. These 1 off stories are generally an inefficient use of dev time imo.

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.

Godbert is only a few chest hairs and a leather harness away from personifying at least one American gay stereotype.

Seriously, though, who even thinks to complain about things like this? I'll accept complaints about absurd, scantily clad men in this game as legit when the same people raise a stink over all the scantily clad females. Oh wait, they won't.

Idea! To reach out to both sides, the ones that love Hildy and the ones that want more perminent game play. How about a Hildibrand line of daily quests similar to beast tribe dailies. Players go out and assist the good Inspector solving smaller crimes plaguing the country not directly related to his main story?

[Ramien]

Speaking as someone whose first actions after any update are to do the Postmoogle quests and the Hildibrand quests...

Keep 'em coming! Perhaps not the exact same quests, since anything done for too long can get old, but quests in the same vein, that flesh out the 'little people' in the world like the Mog Quests do, or that just add some fun and humor to the game and shows that not everything is a life and death struggle for the fate of the world. Hildy and the Moogles work for that because they're not tied so heavily into the main quest, so there's no dissonance like there would be if there was a quest involving (For example) helping Thancred get out of a disastrous affiancement after trying to outdrink Moenbryda again.

And now that we're getting the Gold Saucer soon, turn that into the 'optional' quest hub. Give us an office working under Hildibrand where we can take daily quests, as Aylis suggested.

Idea! Make the crafting material reward from this, that is required to make new i110 accessories, and that can be obtained only this way. It fits the plot, because Godbert is a gsm. And you need to pass daily quest 8 times for 1 crafting attempt. Fun!

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.

OP makes it pretty clear this thread is about additional raid-level content.

[Grimmel]

I think the inclusion of classic FF references in such a poorly written, poorly thought out event is a bastardization of the characters many of us hold dear.

What are you talking about? Gilgamesh has always been a sort of clutzy personality wise character and Ultros has always been a hands on pervert. What characters is SE tarnishing that you hold so high in regard?

[Zholi]

As someone who has actually done/cleared Savage Coil I'd rather have Hildibrand...

Guess you're not interested in the main storyline, the beastmen dailies storyline, class quest storylines, etc etc.

I understand people want perpetual content, but without stuff like the above mentioned it's just a Korean Grindfest MMO.
