No Hildibrand in 5.3?

[Halivel]

I honestly won't be surprised if there's no planned Hildibrand for recent expnasion at all. He usually travels to appropriate areas of the expansions, and since 5.0 is placed in basically another world, it's unlikely that we will meet him there.
That said, I will be glad to have his story again, but I don't keep my hopes high and expect to see him in 6.x rather than now.

Except that the end of Hildy’s SB story, he and Nashu were being taken to the Void by Gilgamesh. The same void that lets him travel into different FF worlds.

This is it! We have found the hidden plot. We will have a crossover event between FFVII and FFXIV with Hildibrand and Cloud will have to fight Gigaga

Hum? Yes? What? I exit? Okay.

I don't know, I could easily see him getting into some mischief on the moon or something given there's a telepad, and tons of different nonsense that could get him there. Gotta remember, he launched himself into Dalamud before it erupted.
