Hildibrand is incredibly unfunny and that's disappointing to hear.

I'm very excited about this. Even more excited to not have to do Bozja like content again. It will be a nice break. I really miss the HW and ARR style relic content.
We'll see how it goes, either way I'm happy.
I might give it a miss. Really don't enjoy the Hildibrand stuff.
When the game's story becomes self-aware:
Hildibrand has been going on since ARR and it's been side content since then. It's ridiculous to try to and make 10 years worth of content mandatory for EW relics.
This is (IMHO) a terrible design decision. Hildy's humor is extremely subjective and is completely unenjoyable to a lot of people.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
Relic is side content too. If you don't like Hildebrand but want the weapons, just skip the cutscenes. It's not difficult content and wouldn't take that long.Hildibrand has been going on since ARR and it's been side content since then.

The entire questchain is a bit too long to lock stuff behind... It's one of those quest chains that was more reasonable to do as it got updated... But going through the entire thing from start to finish for newer players does take a while.
And there are people who don't like Hildibrand as well, so yea. Not really a great decision.
I never did any of the relics for the story so I don't mind. Glamour is the whole point so if Hildy weapons look good I'll get them.
Is there no Eureka/Bozja area this time? I know they age rather poorly, but I did enjoy both when they were current.
They haven't said yes or no to it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the open world instanced zones in favor of a new deep dungeon for this expansion.
I could live with that, I do prefer the deep dungeons. A new one of those plus the criterion dungeons (which look pretty cool so far) is a good trade IMHO.
