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

I'd have been more surprised if he didn't return after the ending of the SB quests

had him getting dragged into the void along with our favorite interdimensional traveler.

They needed a way for him to be able to reach the First, and ol' Gilgamesh was a good answer to that.

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.

Umm, I'm talking about the posts from today...

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

^Has anyone got a source for this. As far as I'm aware, the devs have said nothing.

Don't fall for TitanMan/Brofists necro trolls.

And you're correct, nothing has been said by the developers yet. We know he will appear at some point this expansion due to the SB set up but we still have no time frame.

derp derp, necro thread

I for one am looking forward to more of Hildy, thank you very much.

[Con_Carne]

I want Hildibrand to be back, its like a traditional side-storyline since 1.x.

Incorrect, participation data tells them otherwise.


The OPs (five year old) argument was flawed from the start: the story team dont make dungeons. Different teams would recycle an encounter for savage and another team would make quests. The OP could have argued that a Hildy quest would take time away from the MSQ but not a savage dungeon.

Besides haven't they made that now.

And again, people forget that you play on SE's servers and they know down to the last player who does what; plays what job; how long they play; and if they give up in a quest when they give up .

If SE decides to do a Hildy quest it's because players want them.

I would have said that Hildibrand might take away from trial development, but looking back, we actually had more trials overall in ARR alongside 3 Hildibrand trials. We had no Hildibrand trial in HW and still less trial overall in HW, though we at least got 1 Hildibrand trial in SB.

Well they dont have to make a trial for it but if they did then they would use the 'trial' resources I would image along with an extreme version. The Triad trials back in HW were not part of the main story but their own side quest.

We should petition for an entire Hildibrand based expansion... >.>
