Well, it locks out people who aren't level 50 yet, and those that just do 50 now need enough hours of questing (and queuing dead fights) it could easily take them several days.

Depends on how accessible Square wants the place to be, really.

It also effectively locks bots and reduces the number of "junk" characters in there, thus reducing server strain.
The only downside is the people who play slowly, but hey, getting to 50 and clearing the Hildy quests isn't THAT hard. Certainly less time consuming than the main story by a LONG shot.

Why not? he's shoved down our throats all the time anyways. So it makes sense.

True. But to play devil's advocate: Seasonal and similar events are usually open to newer/pre-50 players... having content before they reach max level is part of what helps draw players in. Of course, as you say, the requirements wouldn't be very high, but from a new player's perspective, something very time consuming can seem that way.

Perhaps a middle ground, where more of the GS opens up as players level?

But... all hypothetical discussion really. With the patch coming tonight, whatever methods of access and requirements SE has chosen, they're already there.

This is false info. They said you can go in at level 15 and the Hildebrand quests are level 50.

Sensible, since that's close to when airships and dungeons unlock.

[AlexionSkylark]

It's already been confirmed that lvl 15 will the the requirement. Next topic plz.
