Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[LaylaTsarra]

Are these going to be the relic weapons or are they a separate thing?

Looks like this is going to be the relic quest line given Gerolt is part of the picture.

Screeching non stop about this not being a "majority" isn't going to deter anyone here. Sorry to burst your bubble.'

Not looking to 'deter" anyone, just being well aware that this forum is not a representative sample of the playerbase as a whole.

Which it isnt.

So were the Yo-Kai weapons.

Whats your point?

RyuDragnier is the more neutral voice in this thread so far and you're putting on an antagonistic tone even for them, lol. Looking for fights?

It means, you foolish foolish Miqote, that it would make sense for joke weapons to be attached to a joke questline. Because we both know you'd be screaming off the top of your lungs if they were attached to something serious.

I'm not going to scream on top of my lungs over the decision, because TBH I don't plan on touching Relic Weapons for a long while anyway. I do find it odd honestly. I don't mind the existence of Hildibrand. It didn't look like it's for me, so I didn't do it. Easy peasy. I guess there is some precedent for jokey quests being connected to Relic Weapons as I was told earlier in the thread... but this is uh, a bit much, no? If it's supposed to be light-hearted, why connect a legendary powerful weapon to it? People already didn't enjoy sitting through Ivalice content to reach Bozja when they didn't play in Stormblood - starting from ARR questlines is way more than that. IDK. If you like the quest chain, really, no problem. Even if I could bear the humour I hate unvoiced yet important cutscenes... looking at you, Ivalice. Seeing people clown and dance about while there's literally no sound coming from their mouth? Seems too awkward to me.

People generally only come here when they're mad about something so you're not wrong.

Well no, you are looking to deter people and belittle opinions here, so let's not waste any time pretending otherwise. As for your claim that it's not representative? It's certainly an opinion, but not one you're going to be able to provide an evidence for.

Oh no. I get to have fun before grinding till I'm bored out of my mind? In a game that's meant to entertain? Oh noooo.
This forum, I swear. lol

I don't think that's true at all. I've been posting here for quite some time and it's certainly been a mixed bag at times though I've met many wonderful individuals by coming here and engaging in debates and discussions about various aspects of the game. It's unfortunate if your experience has been different.

I already know I do not find Hildibrand fun at all. With a new quest line, I don't know if I'll like it or not before I've done it. Do you see the issue now?

[EaraGrace]

All rise for the forums official banner

[TaleraRistain]

I'm really excited for this. It's not like the relic line hasn't gone silly before. There was the kettle quest in ARR. This will breathe new life into the associated trials. And anyone who doesn't like the story can skip cutscenes.

Using this questline means they can spread upgrades over a variety of content, too. We haven't seen anything official that it won't be locked away in some adventure zone, but since we haven't heard a peep about a new one for relics, that gives me hope they've left that idea behind. A new adventure zone on its own merits is fine.
