Those two quests lines were some of my absolute favorites in this game (as far as side quests go.) Especially the Scholasticate!!! I had SOOOOOO much fun learning even more about Ishgard and their systems. The mystery behind it all was fun to play along with. And we had Briardien again!!! Just overall a much more enjoyable time then HW Hildy was.
Holy hell, when I found out how much of a slog these Scholasticate quests are, I very nearly abandoned them then and there. Every long cutscene, I'm just sat wondering when this is going to be over.

Don't get me wrong, I respect and appreciate what it does for lore establishment and all. But, they're basically the same thing as what everyone complains about with the 2.x MSQ. Go and talk, go and talk, go and talk. And I'm even one of the few that didn't mind the MSQ. But I think this maybe takes it a bit far. At least with the Moogles, it was spread out over multiple NPCs.

And Briardien is a twat, and probably what I least enjoyed about ARR Hildibrand.
