Thread: No Hildibrand in 3.1?

Moment they added the Gold Saucer, I was kinda wondering why the Hildibrand Trials weren't given their own little Roulette, which rewarded MGP...

As for Hildibrand... I don't want him back, or rather I don't want him back right away... I'd rather see brief appearances of him during various other side quests for now, similar to Wymond Mail Mog quest. Heck, that was kind of the case with his quests anyway... I'd say the Phantom Thief and Greg owned those quests more than Hildibrand, he was just there for the occasional gag, and he perhaps overstayed his welcome sometimes... Comedy is at its best when you don't repeat it ad nauseum, churn Hildibrand quests out every single update and you start killing what made him funny in the first place, IMO.

I love some haters around here that needs to buy some sense of humor to their life because they seem very unhappy, if you don't like Hildebrand good for you have a good day, but why would you not want other to have something that clearly the community loves specially some of us who really enjoyed the quest line.

And it's funny because people who say it's bad they probably didn't took the time to actually know what the story was about, skipping the CUTSCENES and not reading the dialog and then come here and bash the quest line saying it's bad....BRAVO to all of you.

Hildebrand quest line wasn't only the goofy fun that it had which is much appreciated but it was also a well crafted story that was intriguing, the mystery of the faceless thief who was always a step ahead, or the introduction of GREG aka GILGAMESH who's funny roll fit perfect with Hildebrand questline. Let's not forgot the over the top fights on the CS that step a big chunk in the quality of CS that makes me wonder why don't have over the little top fight like in Hildebrand.

But saying the "funny" gets old quick as a factor of dictating that the questline is bad, it just show how ignorant most people are and get here giving false feedback to the development team, cutting off something that a big part of our community loved.

And that goofy part of the game is very much welcome, the MSQ is very dark and everything on this game is pretty serius and dark...having a little side quest with a live hearted theme balance pretty well this game and the world itself.

I hope Hildibrand will return this expansion, but if SE is not bringing him back so they can try a new sidequests, then I am willing to wait and give it a go. I do hope they atleast bring him back next expansion.

Why is it so hard to grasp that some people have a different opinion to you? To be clear, the only part I skipped is the final arc/episode/chapter or whatever they call it.

I was basing my post on the answer of some people here, of course anyone has their opinion and likes, but to go off to say they don't want it back because they didn't like it and then said they skipped CT it's ridiculous, is not the same to state your opinion of whether you like it or not, as saying you don't want it back because you didn't like it and then claim you skipped everything and didn't payed any attention....

for that rule of 3 I'm just gonna state that 3.2 is trash* and ff should not release patches like that anymore because I skipped everything and was really short...logic...there's a way critics works and it certainly is not by skipping something you are claiming as bad.

Honestly, I just want a simple, non-serious questline. Be it Hildibrand, the post moogles or, if it HAS to be, the Mor Dhona children (although I have to deal with children enough in RL and would apprechiate it if I didn't have to deal with them in my quest..xD).
I'd prefer Hildibrand, but anything goes.
