Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[TheMightyMollusk]

Oh, is it time for yet another thread to be derailed into why Endwalker sucks? Just want to know so I can stop reading.

You severely underestimate just how quickly the Hildibrand questline goes by when you hit 'skip cutscene' on everything. I went from zero Hildibrand on an alt to the start of the EW one in effectively one evening. Just take the time to marathon a podcast/TV show/anime/whatever on another monitor.

Did you consider that perhaps I wanted to enjoy engaging content in FFXIV instead of watching netflix while I play through boring quests or fights? Whatever additional lore is locked behind those quests isn't worth the hassle to me when I can just watch that on Youtube and still understand the story.

Back to the same conversation on a completely unrelated thread.

We must have played two completely different versions of Endwalker then.

Yeah, it really prove it on your wattpad fanfics

Don't take it personally, there seems to be a very vocal group on here that take any opportunity to hate on Endwalker because while it's fine to be disappointed with a product, they're seemingly endlessly irritated others enjoyed/interpreted it differently.

I mean no offense but I simply came here to leave my feedback I am not pleased with the direction of EW and it's content thus far. I understand why some people may be fervently making arguments about that given even I have to question "You can just netfilx something on the side" as a recommended way to do the content when I personally would rather unsub then be told "just don't interact with the content then". Why would I pay a sub if I am not interacting with the content, by that logic I can just youtube everything and save 15 bucks a month. As stated previously the relic is something I always look forward to and seeing it is stuck behind a quest chain I immensely disliked really makes me consider the direction of EW and how much it no longer seems like the game I fell in love with in HW/SB. I absolutely understand people having such strong opinions and feedback if they are starting to see a direction they disagree with which arguably goes against what they believed the game was prior, the point of forums is to bring these concerns forward.

Overall I would say EW is a massive disappointment on several fronts and this just adds to a pile for a lot of people.

Ok, and that's fine. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you and you're perfectly fine with being disappointed. I was more taking umbrage with those who get needlessly hostile with people in discussions like these. You're being polite, concise and getting the reason why you're disagreeing known without punching down other's opinions. I sincerely wish you find something rekindle your love with FFXIV sooner than later.

You're one of the few people on the forums I have seen put it really well, and though I am on the opposite side of the fence I can see more clearly now the frustration.

I think people are too ready to kiss the ground SE walks on in regards to story content sometimes and forget that this criticism is to be expected and should be heard out just the same as the people who loved it.

That or people just have a different opinion.
Everyone needs to learn to be ok with that, on both sides

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

SE be like ”I don’t care, we’re going to get our manderville money back!” epega:

While I’m glad it’s unrelated to any deep dungeon excursions for now, I really did not expect them to use the manderville for this purpose. I hope the weapons’ final form won’t be goofy looking.

[Raikai]

I'm hyped... I bet Manderville weapons might have fun designs.

I just never thought they would tie Hidly quests to any other kind of content, given how comic relief they are, but hey... There are already a lot of dense storylines going on anyway.
