Is Hildibrand worth doing?

[Skye_Noir]

One of the few things I have never done are the hildibrand quests. I looked and it seems like a long chain of quests. Is it worth reading and watching cutscenes or would I be better off skipping everything?

[XiXiQ]

depends on your tastes, it's just a bit of fun really. Some comedy relief

[SeriousxSarcasm]

No point doing them at all if you're gonna skip cutscenes lol. It's kind of the whole point since it's just a comedic, on-going story. Just boils down to if you have the time for them or not since it's entirely optional content.

There are some "primal"-trials in there. Anyway, if you're doing them I would recommend to watch the scenes the first few missions. If you don't like the comedy aspect of them feel free to skip

FWIW, even if you're not into the comedy aspect of those quests, it does lead to a serious in tone spin-off mystery quest line in Foundation about half way through, so it might be worth doing just for that. I found that quest line to be really well done, and made you think about a few things.

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

The trials are kinda fun if done synced(unsync makes them a joke), there are a couple cute minis you get along the way, theres a great orchestrion roll, you meet some interesting people, and personally i thought the comedy was well done.

For ARR quests, you unlock a number of trials which in turn drop at least one unique minion. You also get a number of glamour pieces.

So yes if you really care about that.

For HW quests, I was told it was just cutscene and no extra trial. So I personally put that on hold.

trials, minions, glamour, and a couple emotes, including a dance.
But really, it's about the comedy, so you'd be missing the whole point if you do the quests without watching the scenes.

Hildibrand's humor may not hit everyone but the minions, items, and fights are worth while. Try out a few cut scenes and if it isn't your taste then skip the cut scenes. But it's a really nice side story. Hildibrand dates back to the version 1.0 days btw.

Do you enjoy Japanese comedy? Yes? Yes. No? Eeeeehh. 2.0 unlocks a few trials. 3.0 calms the comedy down for story and tie in with the in game plot with a character deeply involved. No trials, but I loved it. I'm sad there wont be any coming in with 4.0.
