So...what was the point of the new inn quest?

It's just a simple story of stolen weapons and the reason behind it with a little flavor of bad detective work while the true detective (you) figure it out. The dude is a goofball but honestly his character is very FF, the FF series is known to have these types of obnoxious characters who are just awful and make an ass of themselves.

As for unlocking it, I found waiting 30-hr worked for me on each one without any issues.

Indeed. They better keep him in 2.0! This guy and his assistant are hilarious!

Hildibrand reminds me of Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars - Episode 1. A weird out of place character whom the viewer or player knows that the only reason why they are in the game is because the authors want a "cute and funny" character included in the story for the sake of having something appear "cute and funny." Maybe to a three year old he might be cute and funny. They are more likely to respond to goofy sound effects and strange faces.

Think thats why hes entertaining to me. He isn't really part of the serious storyline or even a funny part of it. His story is just to be goofy and off the wall. Its like watching Benny Hill and expecting a deep reason behind it and an engrossing story to follow. Benny Hill is funny because it makes the least sense possible while still making some sense.

What would be worse to me would be if they tried too hard to make the main story have elements like Hildebrand throughout. Which i think fits more to what your saying. Jar Jar would only be like Hildebrand to me if we was the intermission cartoon while you got more popcorn.

Hes near totally apart from the game's storyline, and just there for a chuckle between srs biznus.

FFXIV is Serious Business.

While hildibrand does occupy the same comic relief space that jar jar did there is one key difference.

Hildibrand only shows up occasionally and you have to go out of your way to have any dealings with him. That and his bumbling shenanigans are actually funny and endearing. Mesa think everyting gona be okie day.
