About needing to do The Light of Hope for A Time to Every Purpose

Can you skip it with Tales of Adventure: Stormblood

Probably not since the Crystal Tower quest is still separate from the MSQ. If I remember correctly, players who used the ARR skip still had to do Ifrit and Garuda Hard to unlock Titan Hard for post-HW MSQ. I imagine this will be the same thing.
