Where are the Hildibrand Trials? :(

[bass9020]

I suspect the real reason we don't have Hildy trials this time is that the questline was rushed out due to popular demand and didn't receive as much planning or develop time as the ARR questline.

I think this as well. The 3.0 series was suppose to be about The Scholasticate series but when it wasn't popular they brought in Hildirand last minute. The Scholasticate will be back in 3.4 but I doubt we will get any trials for either quest line for the 3.0 series, but theres always hope!

It didn't get much popularity because it was a bit too serious. After the whole 3.0 feel train people just wanted something to get them off the pain they experienced from the Main Story and countless depressing side quests like that one side quest where a little orphan girl died before she could reach her dream.

Hildy series is popular because it gets people off the feel train and seriousness the Main story and countless other side quests constantly focus too much on.

Oh I know, I felt the Scholasticate lacked a bit of charm that Hildibrand series had and I figured thats why they brought him back for now. I hope the Scholasticate comes back with a bit more to it than what was originally released.

I admit that I was one of the people that was a bit disappointed with the Scholasticate quests. The Hildebrand questline was my favourite series of sidequests in ARR and I found the Scholasticate underwhelming by comparison. To be fair I don't think that it was bad, it was just a different tone than what I was hoping for.

I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out in 3.4. Hopefully it'll be more substantial than what we've been getting from Hildy lately since it has presumably been planned out more.

I'd also love to see more post moogle quests or adventurers with the Doman kids in Mor Dhona in the future. I really do love the side stories in XIV and feel that they add a lot to the world.

Actually it was not really the lack of success for Scholasticate but more that they already promised Hildibrand to return back in 2.X.

A SE rep did say that there would be more Hildibrand back in 2.X during a Fourm post.

Though i am a bit sad how short each episode in Season 2 is. Season 1 was great as the length allowed for a more wider story with its Pink Panther humor.

Also where the "Seven Hell" is Greg? He already said back in Season 1 it was not the last we seen of him.
