They tried that with Scholasticate, but it was very unpopular. I'm just not sure they'll do it again.I think they should introduce a new side questline apart from hildibrand. Despite the fact i like it, idk if i want to see more hildi in 5.x. It seems their quests become too short or blank because the comedic side of it doesn't improve anymore. The last time i remember laughing at hildi was in 4.1x i think? I didn't even smile yesterday because it was the same old hildi quest. It was the expected. They used the jokes too much now imo.. It may probably be just me but i think it is best to keep the good things well before they become prolonged. Maybe a break at 5.0 would work too. Not sure about it but i know that we need an improvement in this game. Something new.. So i am not sure if i want to see hildi questline in 5.0.
Which is a shame, as I really enjoyed that quest (and enjoy lore focused/action light stuff like that from time to time in general).
Then again...now that I think about it, the Doman Enclave chain almost feels like it's a continuation of that narrative approach merged with the Idyllshire/Mor Dhona updates over time (and tying it to the weekly currency cap progression idea the tomestones use). So maybe they have done it again, just trying it in a way that provides material benefit to encourage more engagement.
I agree that Hildy doesn't feel as funny as it used too be, it's like it is forced... maybe it is time Squeenix invents a new character for comic relief. One good thing there is tho: DAIGORO! I WANT A DAIGORO MINION!!!!!
Lets face it. They never intended for Hildibrand to last beyond ARR. He returned due to player demand and I think they're running out of ideas. They really should try a new side story arc in 5.0. Yes, I know, Scholasticate didn't work out as well, but you can only do so much with a story before it's simply beating a dead horse.
It was funny but yeah....a bit disappointed in how short it was. I wish there was two, maybe three quests more.
I didn't mind it being so short. I thought it was funny. I want to give Daigoro tummy rubs.
I want more post moogle stuff. I liked the slice of life stories we go from it. Or another reconstruction project.
Yeah its too short. I love Hildibrand because the quests are just so silly and mostly happy that it really makes me laugh. (Also it kinda feels like our character is more and more like: Well this is really fun)
Also SE if we dont get the dance they are doing at the end of each episode as a ingame reward for the end of the SB Hildi then I will sent him to you to investigate! While throwing all his sexiness and kisses at you.
Don't give them ideas for the next round of Eureka lockbox rewards please. #PleaseLookForwardToIt
I hope the side story quest line for the next expansion would be something that supplements the lore like the stormblood dark knight job quest instead of comedy again. I think the occasional snarky remarks from certain characters during the msq is good enough for me since I am good with the attempted comedy from this game for a while.
