I would've preferred more Xaela/Mol quests than new Hildibrand

[Ghastly]

Anyone with me? Hildy is still great/funny but I would've preferred more Azim Steppe story, even more pirate story at the Ruby sea. May be a bit late now but I hope for 5.0 they focus more on telling more of the story of the world and less on things like Hildy.
Would be fun to see these "world people" to start sending us to dungeons/raids again to retrieve things. Give dungeon runs some flavor. Also, to start sending us on swimming quests or flying quests. I know the kojin do this but more could be done.I don't know what they would reward but maybe look at the competition of mmos and copy some of their rewards.

While I like the idea of more story quests in the Steppe, I don't think they should come at the cost of Hildibrand quests. Hildibrand isn't everyone's jam, but he fills a niche (wacky comedy) that isn't that well-served elsewhere. Replacing that with story quests just makes the game more homogenous, and I don't know who that benefits. Of course, there's no reason for this to be an either/or anyway. Why not both?

[Rockette]

I agree with both posters, would love more azim tribe stories but not at the cost of Hildebrand or anything else.

Hildibrand should be retired, at least for a while. He doesn't need to show up every single patch, especially when it's clear that the longer he sticks the around the more stale he becomes.

I feel like we're probably going to get some kind of sidequest series pertaining to the steppe, because they've said they were planning to do something with Adkiragh (The Adarkim khan candidate in hiding/Idyllshire bartender) multiple times in the past, but that's still yet to come to fruition.

I'd prefer that Hildy ended in ARR, instead of getting stretched on and on and on. A new comedic relief per expansion would be so welcome, like they tried to do with Scholasticate. Stormblood's should've been Magnai looking for his moon or something.

Magnai's popularity in JP will probably net us a sidequest chain about him/his love life eventually. Theres been requests for helping him find his moon at multiple JP Q&As since SB's release.

The other day my FC mate was talking about how Yoshi was hyping up the pig-headed guy pre-SB. I'd honestly forgotten that we were supposed to get something from him >>;

Same here, I'd love to spend more and more time with the Mol and Cirina, find myself going to Mol lloh just to spend time there... Damn, I'd quit the Scion to become a full-time Mol.

the Dev team teased about 'Magnai Fantasy' or at least they seem to have from a previous jpn showcase. That could be a fun quest line, finding Magnai a suitable girl all over the world, helping him win their hearts, or stealing it for yourself becoming his heated rival lol.

HOLY CRAP, I JUST WANT THE SUN GUY TO FIND HIS undead or Mol WIFE!
