Yoshi P, please use future development time on content other than Hildibrand.

I agree Hildebrands cutscenes are better made than many main scenario ones

This.
I love the Hildebrand stuff, but I think it needs more relevance to the storyline. Like I do enjoy the callbacks to other FF games from it, but it's seems like the "optional" aspect of it results in less people willing to queue for it. I waited more than 70 minutes (initially short two DPS, then short 1 tank, and then short one dps, then short 1 tank, after it popped several times without commencing.)

Once again they're adding Hildibrand to 5.2, when no one asked for it.

Not only do I find Hildebrand to be a waste of development time, but I think the inclusion of classic FF references in such a poorly written, poorly thought out event is a bastardization of the characters many of us hold dear. That isn't even to scrape the surface of Hildebrand's father entering the storyline and having SE force the homonormative privileges of today's tumblr generation upon the FFXIV community.

Excuse me? Homonormative privilege sounds like a homophobic dog whistle.

I wanted it...and asked for it. I look forward to seeing Hildy on the First. That 2nd post in this thread with 300+ upvotes tells me many think the same too.

I would rather see them release content that the vast majority of the playerbase can enjoy instead of something that only appeals to very few people.

I mean everytime an Ultimate is added it's basically nothing for the people who aren't interested in that tier of raiding, obviously they should still try to please raiders, but a good majority of the content released should be appealing to the general playerbase.

Ultimate has much more of an impact overall. It gives high end raiders something to do and a lot of people follow the progression of various friends/raid teams even if they never intend to do it themselves.

That's why there's only one a year, 2 per extension.
Which is absolutely nothing.

It's kinda sad that these forums are so slow and quiet that the most notable thing about this past week is all these necro threads.....

Anyway five years later and I'm glad SE didn't toss the Hildebrand stuff. Looking forward to seeing what they've got planned for ShB.

Have we got a source for this? I haven't seen anything about it, and I can't find anything about it

5yr ld thread most likely around the tail end of ARR beginning of HW when Hildabrand was up in the air about returning, now we know Hildabrand is a main stay for each expansion.
