Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[aveyond-dreams]

Not sure whether they were being actually serious about this or not, but either way it's bad form to require such an absurdly long questline to be completed before we can do this expansion’s relic. I don’t even think Ivalice is as time consuming, and at least acts as a skill check on the playerbase.

Just why?

cuz its funny

Absurdly long? Just skip the scenes, it takes like 2-4 hours which is probably not so different from their requirement of Ivalician raids for the Bozjan relics. Ivalice doesn't act as any form of skill-check LOL. Those raids are regularly a 30-40 minute slogfest of wiping and throwing corpses at the bosses until they die.

Having a bit to chew on it honestly I think it sounds fun! After the kettle quest it’s not really that much sillier and you can get through it pretty quick if you’re not interested and just skip.

Probably a roundabout way to get people to play the questline. They did spend quite a lot of time and money on it even if it splits opinions hard.

I have no idea where they are going with it, Dalmasca had potential to be Bozja like zone but got resolved in the Bozja notes. Maybe they won't even use new side area for it.

I guess it could potentially have something to do with Gilgamesh looking for better weapons or Godbert crafting?

Well, they are probably the weapon design contest weapons.
So makes sense to have them with hildi.

But after that you have some more steps.
So I'm looking forward to the Eureka/Bozja/relic content to further upgrade the weapon's.

I am a bit disappointed by it, but someone said the HW and SB quests aren't nearly as long as ARR so I will probably knock them out when I come back for 6.2. Thankfully did the ARR bit for the blue mage spells way back when it was still level 50 cap.

I prefer for it not to require it because it took me years to get round to it, but a lot of people get new players to do these quests so most people have done it. If they really don't like the Hilidibrand story, they can skip the cutscenes and replay it when they change their mind. At least it's just for this expansion and the weapons won't be relevant in the next one.

Ill say tho hildibrand much much easier to speed through than ivalice you can just unsync the 3 lvl 50 trials and there is only one more trial in SB so just be cutscene skipping sim

I think those will go to the crystal conflict vendor TBH

Need to see what the quest line is about. Personally I loved Eureka and Bozja but will reserve comment until we learn more. If it's a return to the HW relic style of farming old content I won't be happy.
