Thread: Please, no more Hildibrand in 4.0

Everyone who keeps wanting more hildi will be the first to complain that the quality drops- just sayin'

Just let them stop,while the stories are good. I'd hate Hildi to become the simpsons of FFXIV.

Nah, more Hildibrand in 4.0. Though only if they don't half-ass it like in 3.0. I don't even mind if they just do him maybe 3 out of 5 patches of the cycle to have time to develop the story. But having some sort of comic relief, light-hearted stories every now and again is a nice change of pace from being IT'S SUPER CEREAL WORLD IS ENDING ERMERGRHD 24-7.

I just want the same amount of production from the 2.x season to return, the episodic endings etc. If it means that Hildi will have to be every other patch then so be it, only 2 quest and no full questlines with a possible trial fight just feels lackluster..

HILDY FOR LIFE!!!

I know unpopular opinion but each expansion set should have their own side story - I was really looking forward to the Scholasticate Questlines but it got so much delayed probably because people were begging for Hildi instead that I totally forgot about it (and I've been looking forward to it so much!). The result are 2 lackluster quest-sets instead of one good one. If I could vote for a returning sidequest to be in 4.0 it'd be the moogle quests giving backstory stories again.

Why not? Always with the same thing. "Because I don't like, it shoulndn't be in the game". Well, then, I like it, should continue in the game. If someone don't like it, then don't do it. You're not obligued to do it.

And it is not oversatured. You get 2 quest per patch. And you can do it in like 20 minutes. Is not like it is present all the time. So it is good amount to not become annoying.

The scholasticate was exciting at first cause it was fresh. I certainly looked forward to it. Then people cried for Hildi and it seems even the devs forgot about the Scholaticate.

I love Hidy because SE has said several times he is canon, and here on Balmung there are a small minority that hold the lore so tight, his exploits drive them up the wall as it challenges their view of lore and ruins their immersion. There was even a thread on another site that was basically this minority losing their minds over him not to long after SE said he was canon. I get a giggle out of people getting worked up like its real life over a videogame.


I would like to see Greg again though, if only once as a cameo.

in reaction to this thread they should make Hildy a monthly episodic quest =D
