Hildibrand for relic? Really?

Can't tell war stories, can't have stories that deal with any kind of plague, gotta stick to memes and haha funny moments or moralizing about grandiose themes. Got it.

We've had 12 years of war stories. There's more than enough already here for you to consume. But this is a fantasy game and not a war game so it would be interesting to finally move on from the same old tired war, especially since now the Garlean military is effectively neutered.


Now that the Hydaelyn-Zodiark and Garlean war arcs are over, we are completely free to explore the wealth of fantasy themes out there that have nothing to do with war or philosophical cosmic forces creating galactic peril.

Can't wait for the 8.0 relics to be tied to Moogle Delivery quests or to some Diner-Dash mode minigame that takes place at the Sharlayan burger joint.

That's not actually a bad idea. I've been waiting for the Moogle Delivery quests to come back. They were very interesting and explored the lore much more than most other sidequests do. People in this thread have already been complaining about new relic quests potentially not having lore.

Anyway, since this game is straving for content and most if not all of what will launch with 6.2 will be done and over with in a matter of days (can't overwhelm the players, am I right?), I'm looking forward to when Diofield Chronicle releases along with whenever the Tactics Ogre remaster happens. Enjoy your Hildibrand relics.

I will be off playing the stuff that I originally came to this game for instead of what it's fast becoming. Can't wait for the 8.0 relics to be tied to Moogle Delivery quests or to some Diner-Dash mode minigame that takes place at the Sharlayan burger joint.

Can't tell war stories? Is this an Ativan alt?

To be quite fair, that's always been FFXIV. The few serious and dark themes we got I chalked up to getting a side dish to the main course. It's always been tongue in cheek first. I don't think I'd like it as much if it wasn't.

Then we must have been playing two completely different games.

Nope. I remember booting up this game for the first time in late ARR to see my cat girl on a cart with a moogle getting a little too friendly with his bottle.

This game has narrative shortcomings for sure, but Hildibrand is as FFXIV as the entire sequence of Garlemald. If you're seeking thematic cohesiveness you chose the wrong game.

Thank you for forgetting that the thing they show you before that scene is Lahabrea for the first time. The "funny" bits have usually been balanced out in previous expansions but Endwalker has completely derailed that. I completely disagree with your statement that Hildibrand is "as FFXIV" as the importance of Garlemald in this game's story.

Yay funny did not sell me this game. The cgi artwork of Gaius and the ARR Black mage did. And I wouldn't have stayed on if the story didn't actually try to do something with itself in ARR/Heavensward.

We will, thanks. Looking foreword to the new content and Relic Questline.
You Go enjoy a break away from FFXIV and do something enjoyable that doesnt involve complaining about nothing to do...when in reality the issue is there is nothing YOU want to do.

Clearly not to the people who actually made the game, but I guess the irony in the silliness of your Xaela wearing a baseball cap and driving a car from another universe is a bit lost, too.

For real. I'm just going to be on my island and vibing (eventually..). Plenty of content doesn't appeal to everyone, so just don't do it! It's EZ.

Since when do modern clothes = comedy and Hildibrand style humor? Did you never play FFXV?

[LisSquid]

Did you never play FFXV?

Yeah! I hear there's a questline called Hildibrand in it.
