Can you please retire Gerolt?

[Liale]

I saw in the special site that one AGAIN Gerolt will be involved with the relic weapons. I am really tired of him and his kettles. There have to be other smiths that could fix the relics that wouldn't require some weird reason for him to be in bosja. Honestly the eureka weapons were not even legendary feeling because it was just junk he hammered together from mats we found. At least arr relics were ancient weapons of past heros and heavensward relics were living beings we helped create. But enough is enough, surely by now you should have let him pay off his debt or have learned his lesson or something. But no, yet again we get an endless amount of kettle references. It's too late for this expansion but maybe next one we could be spared Gerolt and get someone new and exciting rather than dull, drunk and cranky.

For better or worse, he is the best Smith in the land. No one else can compare.

I mean, who cares? I just want my sparkly weapon.

I just want him to be free from Rowena. Maybe let Khloe grow up and have her be his apprentice. Since she likes stories, then she might like to know stories of weapons.

There's definitely some characters that I'd like to see retired at this point. Enduring yet another liberation plot is going to be rather stale, too...though hopefully with Matsuno in charge we'll get some shades of FF12 and the narrative will shift from destroying/breaking apart Garlemald towards seeking to save it and forge peace.

We'll use Eden to create someone better then. :>

We can't actually be sure of that though since eorzia has been cut off from the, presumably since clouds cover a third of the map, other two continents for quite a while. In fact we didn't even see any of Thavnir or Nagxia. We have no idea what is in the Garlean Empire or Ilsabard. There could very well be smiths just as equally talented in other parts of the world. Gerolt is just the best in Eorzia. Untill we go to all the places on the map you can't say he is the absolute best.

Gerolt's been the go-to whenever it's come to Relic, given how we got him started back in ARR with the Zodiac Weapon. I think why they're using him again is because the community as a whole could've become attached to him in regards to what memories are made with the Relic process. However, remember that Gerolt is never alone in making the Relic, so my good guess is he's going to work together with the Rhothgar smith(assuming that guy is a smith...).

Actually he was alone in eureka, which probably contributed to the "legendary" weapons we got from there being trash he threw together. But, being paired with someone is not that interesting either as it's just going to be the same story where he works with them to make the weapon and then they fight over who did the most work. We have already had two expansions of that.

I think the new Gerolt with his hair-weave is pretty cool. I think it was pretty obvious given the dialog in the main story and his new location that he would be involved with the new relic quest. Going to be interesting to see how they weave the new workshop location in Tempest into the relic quest itself.

I just hope the relic quest is fun. Personally I enjoyed Eureka and BA and hope we get something new. Last thing I want to see is a quest line that has us running old content over and over again.

So Cid apparently not only been reused so much for every expansion, but also across almost every FF series, would you retired that poor sod engineer already?

Also chocobo retire that, and moogles too for that matter
