Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I think people are too ready to kiss the ground SE walks on in regards to story content sometimes and forget that this criticism is to be expected and should be heard out just the same as the people who loved it.

That or people just have a different opinion.
Everyone needs to learn to be ok with that, on both sides

SE be like ”I don’t care, we’re going to get our manderville money back!” epega:

While I’m glad it’s unrelated to any deep dungeon excursions for now, I really did not expect them to use the manderville for this purpose. I hope the weapons’ final form won’t be goofy looking.

the comedy in hildibrand quests is hit or miss and the jokes can overstay their welcome at times, but even more importantly, people on here can't stand anything even remotely light-hearted for some reason

Personally I didn't mind the ARR quests, but it overstayed its welcome by HW. The Gigi stuff in HW was endearing but spliced between the slapstick humor that was very miss for me, and the SB stuff was incredibly forgettable and I didn't enjoy it at all. I liked the Inspector Briardien sidequests in HW though, the Scholasticate stuff was interesting and I enjoyed learning more about the inner workings of Ishgardian society.

imo the HW arc was the best one.

Because not everything has to be serious in this game. Have a little fun with it while not busting a vein trying to finish Ultimate.

Dragon Age has the banana on a stick weapon with a cheese wheel shield, Shadow Hearts has a skyscraper for a bludgeon weapon, AC Valhalla has a swordfish sword. Games are silly.

There is a difference between a light hearted story/aesthetics vs a lolsorandom story/aesthetics. Who am I kidding though, i'm just fighting against the current at this point in the game's life, lol.

Not sure why people surprised the Relics always had fairly long unlock requirements & usually pushed players to old content to help new players or make world more lively with many fate grinds. Hildi has 4 Trials & the 4th one is probably a wall for players currently doing it cause I never get that thing in my Roulettes.

Well finally if don't like it Relics are side content & not mandatory you could always just skip cutscenes / or ignore it Savage will be BiS till 6.5 when Relic finally gets BiS.

I don't mind that the relic is tied to Hildibrand.
What I do mind is that I feel they picked the wrong expansion for it.

I wanted weapons of space and intergalactic dimension stuff. Maybe from the Lorrpits on the Moon and Ultima Thula. It just feels anti climatic that the relic weapons on the big saga conclusion could potentially be a meme.

Honestly if SAM gets the Senior Sabotender katana without the actual Sabotender on its hilt, I'd be satisfied. I don't care if it's otherwise just a reskin, that weapon would look so cool were it not for the goofy-ass hilt.
