Please, no more Hildibrand in 4.0

[Bourne_Endeavor]

The scholasticate was exciting at first cause it was fresh. I certainly looked forward to it. Then people cried for Hildi and it seems even the devs forgot about the Scholaticate.

I suspect it was less forgetfulness and more they just didn't have time to balance everything. Hildbrand being established meant they wanted to focus on him more. I'm in favor of newer side story arcs myself, if only because I hate seeing good stories become watered down when their creators just have no ideas left but keep trying to force it out.

Everyone who keeps wanting more hildi will be the first to complain that the quality drops- just sayin'

Just let them stop,while the stories are good. I'd hate Hildi to become the simpsons of FFXIV.

Why? What's wrong with the Simpsons? You meant South Park, didn't you?

Am I the only one who likes the Scholasticate? Sure it could have been better, but it's a nice little story with some real detective work. I for one wouldn't mind if Briardien and Hildibrand both got their own questines in 4.X
But only if the Hildi line is 2.0 level. In 3.0 the content is less, the jokes aren't as funny and the supporting cast is weaker.

I enjoy Scholasticate for it being the side-story digging into life in Ishgard which was the original plan for Scholasticate Storyline. Though I think what went wrong was that they didn't provide what was needed after the emo fest of 3.0 main storyline which was a light heart storyline to let people enjoy and relax from what happened. I also felt that it was lacking something to get the attention of people with the characters as the characters hardly grabbed my interests, not because they were not funny but because they just felt a bit too bland in setting the a proper tone for the storyline. Briardien was probably the only one that stand out to keep the story interesting but the other characters just didn't present what SE was aiming for properly being a Light hearted Side-storyline about the difference in life for Nobles and Commoners in Ishgard and the struggle both side face due to difference in social states.

The first episode just covered too much of what we already seen in 3.0 Main Scenario and the 3.0 side-quest which is another reason why Scholasticate didn't grab as much attention as when Hildibrand was introduced in 2.X.

I feel sorry for you that you must have been born without a funnybone All the comedy you are missing out on :'(

[Yasuhiro]

Comedy is completely subjective tho, neither you nor OP are right on what's funny.

Scholisticate should be the one removed

Unlike Hildy it is unlikely to continue into 4.0 even if it was the best part of HW simply because we will be moving out of Ishgard-centric content. Hopefully like Hildy the end of it is an improvement in its quality.

Am I not allowed to like both the Scholisticate and Hildibrand Quests?

Cause too bad, I do.

Then you simply tick off those of us who have no interest in Hildibrand but crave some sort of side quest to tackle. With that said, though, tying the Scholisticate to Hildibrand - however subtly - was an unfortunate decision. I would have liked to see more time spent on TWT storyline though. Azyz Lla got the short end of the stick, arguably.

I disagree vehemently. The only "Tie" between them is one single character, an Investigator of Ishgardian descent who was called back home to do exactly his job, and investigate an issue that was affecting members of his family. And I like that they brought in a pre-existing character to fill this role, rather than make up a new one, because to me it makes the world feel more fleshed out and involved. I like to see characters from different stories come in and play a role in others where it makes sense, as it makes the world feel like a living, breathing place alongside the people who inhabit it.
