As it stands I liked the 2.0 Hildibrand stuff a lot better since it at least came with a handful of unique trials and cosmetic rewards which justified its presence a lot more. It was also a great way to get some of the 'sillier' FF references into the game. Now it just feels repetitive with recycled 'jokes'.

Scholasticate has potential, yes - though I'm hoping there will be more mystery to it than 'House Dzamael is evil/everybody who doesn't reach out to the poor is a bigot!' I'd like to see it turn out that some cunning third party is behind the scenes having orchestrated the situation to have the students/teachers at each other's throats. It could easily be someone seeking to take the chance to eliminate the influence of the organisation entirely and kicking it whilst it's down after all - and what better way to do that than stir chaos from within?

As for Eric I'd definitely like to see more of him too. Reading through his 'lore dumps' was pretty enjoying whilst leveling MNK.
