2.5 - Before the Fall

At least we can guess that he finally catches the thief. Probably. It is Hildibrand we are talking about so we may never know. What has me intrigued that the Golden Saucer is the Manderville Golden Saucer. It's probably owned by Godbert. Or it's a paralell for the Diogenese Club and owned by Hildibrand's brother. Hmmm, I wonder if we can have our fortune read by Caith Sith.
Anyroad, time to play the hell out of FF III and VIII in preparation for the world of darkness and triple triad.

Rename 3.0 to Hildebrandsward! Expansion for A Hildibrand reborn!

Totally would love to have a proper full budget CGI movie of Hildibrand.

I'm just goimg to go ahead and assume that Godbert is going to be the stand in for Dio. The gold saucer being run by a powerfully builtman you first encounter wearing nothing but his most breif breifs, with a taste for items of value, but without understanding WHY they are valued as such.

The Hildibrand storyline has everything. Zombies, pretty girls, intrigue, gilgamesh, ultros and the gunhalbred of Nael. All it needs is Jandelaine and a Scion to make it a complete Final Fantasy experience.

At any rate, not Hildibrand himself

I welcome the chance to learn more about the Manderville family. We know Hildibrand is a detective and that Godbert is a world famous goldsmith and philantropist with superhuman skills who is a member of the Syndicate, but beyond that, nothing.

This. Painfull it is to accept, but your grand comany chocobo is, just that. a mount used by a military organisation. It is NOT fit for competitive sports. Looks like we will own at least 3 chocobos .

It's funny - Yoshi never planned for him to be anything more than some minor comic relief in 1.0 to lighten up the increasingly jaundiced tone of the story. My own fear though (which sadly has become increasingly blatant as his storyline continues) is the risk for SE to devolve his humour into utter farce. He works best when he's bumbling but still has dignity. But the recent Hildy quests particularly were dumming him down into a farcical imitation of himself.

Sure the whole thing with Godbert running around in short shorts and suplexing monsters is good for a laugh, but more and more SE just seem to be trying to turn Hildibrand into a one-dimensional Looney Tunes character for quick laughs. Which is a shame, as he really is an awesome character that managed to succeed despite his idiocy. But I'm just rambling here. :P

A man cross dresses once and you never let him live it down!

Prepare to be flabbergasted, then. Main Scenario NPCs aren't involved in Job quests because of the potential for it to make no sense; Cid teaching you to Machinist while he still has amnesia, for example.

I imagine it will be a similar situation to Yugiri and Ninja; You'll be taught by someone completely new, probably someone associated with Garlond Ironworks, and they'll make passing mentions of Cid.
