We need an expansion centered around Hildibrand

[Kaurie]

Wait, there is a Hildibrand questline in 3.0? I didn't see that in any patch notes. Where do we start it?

[Evangela]

No, thanks. I hope I'll never see him ever again. He's unfunny.

I would unsubcribe for the entirety of that expansion. Not to be a downer or anything, but that humour would wear off very quickly.

I second that. I cant stand the Hildibrand "humour" its not funny. That would definitely be the end of the FFXIV for me.

I dont think an expansion just for Hildi should be made. However I do think that there should be new content for Hildi. Many people like it. Not everyone will like every piece of content, but many people do like the Hildi series as it brings a small comic relief that you dont get in other side/story quest.

[Ashkendor]

I'd like to see the Hildibrand questline continue, but an entire expansion? No, thanks.

[Ayuhra]

A whole expansion dwelling in the peripheral wackiness that exists in the rest of the game could be exhausting. At least for FFXIV (A comedy MMO in general could be an interesting twist....)

Myself? My favorite characters are Estinien, Ysayle and Haurchefant (and Thancred) so I want an expansion that takes place in Ishgard, please.

...Wait....

If you think about it, Hildebrand is an expansion on his own. His side quests last FOREVER, so many hours of fun and joy. We got one for every patch past 2.0 with them growing in length, experimental animations, and just doing more than most cutscenes in the MSQ. My point - his side quests at least FEEL like more than the main storyline in length and depth for me. Would I take a Hildrebrand expansion though? You better believe I would!

Also, rumors abound of Scholasticate in 3.15 being the next Hildebrand adventure, but who knows.

Yoshida already confirmed that the Scholasticate storyline would be separate from Hildibrand, although one character is going to be making a reappearance.

Forgot his name, but the legitimate detective in the Hildibrand quests.

If this is a serious suggestion, then oh goodness no. I *love* the Hildibrand quests. They were easily among the best things in 2.x. But what you have to realize is that turning the MAIN game from a grand, sprawling fantasy adventure into the Pink Panther would sort of sap much of Hildi's charm. Those work so well in part because they're a hilarious diversion from all the serious and lore-heavy things. I absolutely would love it if we got more Hildi throughout the game's life, but I don't think the devs are daft enough to make him an A-lister.

The awakening of Alexander caused quakes underneath Gold Saucer, stirring up an ancient evil in an underground realm. The Primals Cerberus and Doomtrain awaken by Diablos' hand since Alexander unlocked the path to their sealed prisons.

The silly Hildibrand has come and to save Gold Saucer and the lands of Eorzea, as his family joins in with our heroes in this unexpected land.
