So, let's speculate about future Story developments (SPOILERS!!!)

Another thing: Teledji is just such a terrible villain.

Everyone else got some kind of buildup and characterization. For him, though, we pretty much had it dropped in our laps, "Oh hey remember that guy? By the way he's evil" and he was evil. Terrible example of telling rather than showing.

And the only piece of him we got past that point was just ludicrous mustache-twirling cartoon crap.

Gaius had tons of nuance and gave off a believable sense that he sincerely felt that he was the hero of his own story. Nael was entertainingly warped. The Ascians are fun to watch for their constant need for amicability while carrying out full-scale supervillain projects. Even Lolorito gives off a sense that his callousness is borne from world-weary cynicism rather than psychopathy, adding potential layers. Teledji? He's a bad joke.

Ya Teledji is just too generic evil for my taste as well.

His entire reason for being Evil in FF14 is the "classic generic evil guy who wants to take over the world" Villain with the side of "evil politician who manipulates the weak members of society" for political gain.

He even only going after Omega Weapon because he wants to use it to take over the world.

"classic generic evil guy who wants to take over the world"

take over the world or destroy the world are basically the only 2 threat scenarios in the whole FF series.

Ya I know but Teledji doesn't have any other reason for taking over the world since his only reason is that he wants to take over the world because he just wants to take over the world.

Gaius reason for taking over the world had a Grey zone reasoning behind it because what being all Gods in the world are just a bunch of Primals feeding off of Aether and using their worshipers to perform their own deeds. Along with the fact that the leaders of Eorzea lacked proper unity and that lack of unity did lead the city-states to go a down hill state as time passed so he believe this was the only way to unify Eorzea.

Teledji is just "Hey I'm Evil and I can take over the world because I can"

There is just no complex reasoning relating to actual issues that is happening like Gaius had. Just a straight forward evil guy want to take over the world for the sake of taking over the world mindset.

As for Hildibrand Season 2...

Episode 1 we focus on a case to find Hildibrand and the legendary sword Excalibur while running into Greg again. To find them we use the Hildibrand Thinking Emote and at the end of the episode we get one cliffhanger and the Hildibrand Thinking Emote (aka /hildythink) as our reward.

Episode 2 we meet Briardien again for the next case and he tells us how Ellie is doing during his time in prison then continue the search for Excalibur. Once the case is over and the next cliffhanger is done we are rewarded the Adjust Glasses Emote (aka /adjust)

Beyond this I do not know...

There is but one flaw in your Hildy new season: Paladin Zodiac Weapon sais "Hi!"

[Balipu]

Or ascend to godhood. Kefka fans like to gloss over this slice of information, but Sephiroth never intended to destroy the world. He counted on the lifestream saving the world from Meteor. That's why he moved to the cave where the lifestream will burst out. To merge with it and become all powerfull. Of course in the end he probably would have conquered the world as well, but the first step was godhood.

EDIT: I want your mask.

I doubt it. Excalibur is already wieldable as a zodiac brave weapon so serching for a weapon you can find 10 copies of in Revenant's Toll would not be a compelling story.

You really don't know Gilgamesh's story and his long journey to find the True Excalibur do you?

Those copies are not what Gilgamesh is looking for. He seeks the True Excalibur, the Sword of Kings, the Ultimate Sword of Swords, the 1 hit KO OP Sword of Justice, and what every title call a Sword powerful enough to 1 hit KO anything. That is what Gilgamesh is looking for so the story can work since those copies are just Excalipoors.

Of course he's a terrible villain. He's Lalafell trash. >=)

Lots of people hate the animu Crystal Tower ending. It was so hammed up and cut short.

"Sorry we're too stupid to handle this technology so i'm gonna lock it away until we can build technology on par with Allagan, which kind of defeats the purpose since then we won't need the tower, I suppose."

The writers just wanted to wrap it up and go back to work writing for the Pokemon anime.
