I want HILDY

[Puwarh]

Since the end of Hildebrand quest line, story so far seems a bit serious. I do think we need a comedy break from those serious-worrier-of-light-vs-end-of-the-world-scheme story

SO PLEASE, make more funny, comedy quest like those hildy story line

the next set is currently in development. 3.2 (not official date) just a estimated guess.

Well, I want Hilda. That voice... those RRRRRRRs...



Whoever decided a mixed-blood Elezen / Midlander should have an Irish Accent, though... well hey, it doesn't have to make sense. I love it.

So long as Hildebrand is contained within his own set of side quests I don't mind seeing more of him...but I do hope his popularity doesn't cause the game as a whole to shift in a direction that directly caters his sort of 'humour'. The game just wouldn't be the same for me if it did. I'd quite like to see him killed off at some point - to prevent stagnation and to ensure that there's room for a different set of side quests.

Or just make new side quests in general and not kill him off? I don't get everyone's fascination with killing off characters they don't like.

It's more realistic and edgy. Or something. If everyone dies for no reason. Because people die. It's realistic.

I'm firmly in the camp that Hildy should remain the "saves everyone" storyline, because gods this game needs to have one of those.

/grumbles about losing certain people again.

Hildebrand's popularity is that he is comic relief. RELIEF. I don't see the need to off him because he does what he's supposed to. There is no need to ever do the Hildebrand quests if you don't want to do them. It doesn't seem to me like they'll ever merge into the MSQ outside of, maybe, a quick cameo here and there.

I think the game could use more of those ongoing side stories. They don't all need to be slapstick(ish... The Hildebrand quests got me misty eyed once or twice too)

Actually, there is. You can't do primal roulette without them, a fact that drove me mad in the past since I just HATE that guy.
Seriously, I could do without him completely. Really hope they take their time with the next set of quests, or at least don't make them mandatory for duty roulettes again.

I'd like to see Hildibrand return too. His comic relief questline was one of my favorite things about 2.x, and arguably very necessary considering how tense things often were following the MSQ in the patch cycle.

Now, I can understand not liking Hildibrand, but that's no reason to kill him. Retire his character, sure, but there is no need or reason to outright kill him beyond shock value. Killing doesn't really fit the tone of Hildibrand's story anyway. I wouldn't mind if they did a different comic relief questline in 3.x since I don't want Hildibrand's character to get tired, but I too would like to see him return at some point.

... and while the Battle on the Big Bridge, Dragon's Neck, and the Battle in the Big Keep are required to unlock Trial Roulette, I don't really feel Trial Roulette is even necessary. You can max out your weekly endgame tokens in 6 days just doing Expert Roulette, and without MSQ to do and Alexander Normal finished that's all I have to do anyway...

[Rakeesh]

...

I have Trial Roulette without having done any of the Hildibrand quests.
