    I recall this Hildibrand thing being a thing the "Fans wanted more of" and they graced us with more of this. I would really want to know if its because of a huge outcry from the fanbase or because the devs just want to push this on us.

    I absolutely, thoroughly guarantee you it is because most players want more Hilidibrand.

    I've been around a long time. People really, really liked Hilidibrand and wanted more of it. The developers stopped making it, because from their perspective it had run its course and they were running out of ideas. But people kept asking for more of it and wondering where it had gone in Shadowbringers. It was a popular selling point to sprouts as well, who were often recommended to also complete Hildibrand.

    So they indicated they would continue it with the camero in The Heroes' Gauntlet and said how they just needed to gather more inspiration for it. They actually said it's very taxing for them to produce it (probably as much in terms of animation as in having to find fresh ideas), so they wouldn't keep doing it if it hadn't been heavily requested.

    People were *very* angry throughout ShB that we didn't have a Hildi questline.

    It was because fans wanted it. They remarked before how they kept getting asked about it.

    In relation to the OP, IIRC the prologue arc for each expansion's Hildy is normally pretty short. It's the continuation that starts to get longer.
