Hildibrand content cut to ONE quest

[Kaurhz]

For people like you the game is going to hell, first it's a quest, then they're going to do trials, dungeons, ex, and savage

Enough of celebrating everything, get rid of that mentality that ffxiv is better, no, it's not, it was but that's over now. There are few of us who try to make the devs continue to make an effort, but as long as players like you continue to applaud their minimal efforts then I don't see a good reason to be paying 13 dollars monthly

Beg to differ, the thing that will be taking this game straight to hell is the overuse of 1-time and done content, which is what Hildebrand is. It's expensive to develop content, with the amount of animation that goes into it. Whether you do it or not is near enough completely inconsequential, and the only use you get out of it is gags that have entirely overstayed their welcome.

I'm not going to advocate for something which I feel has overstayed its welcome. Get over it, I don't see that all content is equal. I'm hardly celebrating anything, I am just not kicking up a fuss over 15-30 minute once-and-done content. By all means though you keep advocating for it, I am certainly not stopping you LOL.

Hildibrand for me is not content worthy enough to be subbed over, that's the difference between, Hildibrand, and say, extreme content and savage, heck, even dungeons (Which at least supplement storytelling when part of the MSQ), so please don't pretend that I have a universal feeling on the matter of content being cut, like I said, I just don't view all content as being equal. I want less one-time-and-done content that is completely inconsequential, and more content that is actually going to keep me busy, or at the very least going to be consequential as to whether I do it or not, e.g., actual story. So I ask you, why should I kick up a fuss over it? Change my mind by any means.

then thats a 50% reduction in content ;/ for the people who actually wanted to do this this is kinda not okay.

I'm just coming back from a break so I haven't done it yet but I wouldn't necessarily call a reduction in quest count a reduction in content. How long does the one quest take to do compared to doing the individual quests in the series past?

If doing one quest keeps me occupied for a half hour when in the past it took 3 quests to keep me occupied for a half hour, I wouldn't call it a reduction in content. I would call it streamlining the story flow to remove pointless quest breaks. I'm not going to miss the extra 3k gil or whatever I would have gotten if it had been split into multiple quests.

Now if doing the one quest takes the same 10 minutes as a single past quest, then it's a reduction in content.

Considering that we lack content, 10 min or 30 min doesn't make that much difference if my next update is going to be in March.
