Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[Alleo]

Eureka is its own separate content, designed for people who are interested in its unique mechanics and progress. Hildibrand is something you need to go through in order to even UNLOCK the separate content for the relic. They're not comparable. The only comparison that would have been fair would be the need to clear Return to Ivalice to unlock Bozja.

Yes and since its is own separate content you are forced to use it if you want to do the relic weapon at all. With this one, the only information we have is, that you need to have gone through the Hildibrand quests. Something which is done once. Afterwards the relic could be like they were in other expansions where you can farm it from normal content. So bascially if you skip the cutscenes of Hildibrand and do these quests in a few hours the whole relic could still be good. If you dont like Eureka you have no chance to gain the relic any other way.
