[Suggestion] Instead of Hildibrand, I want sidequests about Azim Steppe. 4.0 Spoilers

It'd be worth it

she believes with her entire being she has the soul of a man and she can't stand his arrogance either. this story might have worked if it wasn't for the fact that those 2 can't stand eachother. They both see the other as inferior. Honestly it would be more likely you would see Cerina fixed up with Sadu than Magnai. Hate to rain on your parade but it is more clear they would more likely try kill eachother than end up together as lovers.

I do like your idea don't get me wrong. It is just that this is unlikely as neither of them could get past their pride.

They see no gender when it comes to souls. There is no such thing as a "man" or "woman" soul to them. Since their numbers are dwindling I suspect they push relationships that lead to offspring though.

Y'all can ship as much as you want, but don't you dare touch Hildibrand.

Why not a "Hildi and the Steppe" sidequest?

Hildibrand would actually fit rather well in Kugane, but he'd need a Zenigata Heiji analogue as a foil character.

The Steppe stuff is of a very different tone than what Hildi is normally involved with, especially seeing how the auri tribes deal with their problems and the type of things they encounter on a daily basis.

If faced with a choice between the two, I'd say the SB side quests should be Steppe, and wait until the next expansion to bring Hildy. That should give enough time to the writers to come up with something good while giving his character a break.

--------------------------

As a side note, the reason some go for the Magnai x Sadu ship is because it's a little too common to see characters that seemingly hate each other form a relationship (that we have bickering couples like Bulma x Vegeta, not to mention the granddaddy of them all, Tendo Akane x Saotome Ranma, doesn't help). Specially when you take anime into account.

I'm more a Cirina x Magnai fan, simply because there would be delicious irony in an overbearing guy like Magnai being kept in check by a seemingly quiet and meek girl like Cirina. Like, he'd think she's easy to boss around, then it turns out that she has him by the balls and he can do nothing about it.

There's also the guys that are speculating Yugiri will be shipped with Magnai.

I've noticed during my quick work break, that some of the whiny babies complaining about wanting no more Hildebrand, didn't play 1.0 where he originated. Nobody touches Hildebrand. He's a staple of the game, and good humor.
I agree the HW story wasn't as good as 1.0's or ARR's but he stays! If you don't like that, don't do his quests, oh and the proposed side quest idea sucks. It sounds boring and pc.
This is FFXIV, not real life. Quit your whining.

I don't particularly care for a Magnai/Sadu relationship quest, but I wouldn't be against more story quests in the Steppe or in any of the Othardian areas.

I want a new Dalamud to fall on Azim Steppe. Never skipped so many story quest cutscenes before.

Did someone hurt you?

[Ghastly]

I support this so much. Hildibrand was great in Eorzea but if I had to choose I would like to see more of the Xaela lore than Hildibrand. Maybe we can have both? Hildy in Gyr Abania?

[ExKage]

Can I have both Hildi and more Azim Steppe stuff?

Of course we didn't play 1.0, we didn't have a NASA space computer to run it.
