We'll likely get the trailer on Saturday, I think. Alongside the second half of the Live Letter and patch preview. That should give us a few new scraps of lore to tide us over until 3.4 goes live. In regards to the 'Side Story Preview', though, I find myself lamenting the lack of serious side quests. I won't make it any secret - I absolutely loathe Hildibrand and the 'humour' associated with him. He was funny as a one off thing but then he became obnoxious. He is popular though - but I do feel saddened that he shows up in almost every major patch (bar a few exceptions) and that we seemed to have much more variety back in the 2.0 patch cycle in regards to intriguing side quests.

The Moogle Delivery quests, for instance, fleshed out the game world and allowed us to revisit key/memorable NPC's so that we could 'catch up' with them or learn more about the game world.
