Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[TheMightyMollusk]

Honestly my biggest worry now is that future Hildebrand quests in later expansions could end up stuck behind a relic grind. Hopefully it just branches off and I can ignore it when the grind wears out its welcome.

It will likely branch off and unlock another separate quest line the way a lot of content does (same as how MSQ will unlock a massive amount of + quests that you're not forced to do). You probably wont need to do the Relic to do the future Hildebrand quests and there will just be a new NPC with a + mark over their head if you choose not to do the relic. I believe the relic is just going to be Hildebrand adjacent / just an unlock requirement. Only Godbert really got mentioned since hes a master goldsmith. We might see Hildebrand since he's his son but I doubt he's directly related the way his father is.

I wanted something like Bozja and Eureka to be honest. But I like Hildebrand so I don’t mind.

I have read the views made by lackluster story writers guild on the forum and I think Hildebrand is no good for the relic. The weakness is the story. Good stories have suspense and drama like a Game of the Thrones and Heavensward. People do not like Hildebrand because they make it too much like slice of life anime when it needs dark fantasy genre.

Hildebrand feels weak because of many death fake outs. Every time Nashu hits with explosion, you think is this it at last? But no he is still alive. The other problem is the story bias. Hildebrand is the gentleman of light. What about the gentleman of dark? We only hear one bias view because of bad localization of french story to japanese.

I am also mad about a video clip I see. Hildebrand fires missle at the earth to genocide the people. But Nashu does not question this. I can not support a viewpoint that is evil unless it is done in dark fantasy story like Cersei.

We must take back story. Players must now rewrite the Hildebrand story to change the direction and make it good again like it was when Maehiro was writer.

I honestly can't tell if that's genuine or sarcasm. xD I had a good laugh nonetheless.

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?

Because yoshi is a troll. And hate the players. So it go like "you demanding more of this quest we was clear we don't want to do? Here have it but now all forced to play it". Same for islands thingy. Like they give each player a map that is bigger that any houses plot? But they say they can't just add more there? What it's at this point if not trolling.

Manderville stuff is juvenile garbage, fortunately I have done it all already, skipped every possible cutscene and muted the few that I couldn't will skip everything about this

How to say you're a boring person without using the word.

[Treesus]

It feels like this thread is like a signal light for reapers/dark knight mains with how many "ughhhhh hildabrand so bad. unfunny" because you all just be lookin like edgelords. Id actually worry about you all getting exposed to the hildabrand cutscenes but your early 2000s emo haircut will probably keep most of it away from you.

[Theodric]

Nah. I think the real 'edgelords' are those who can't grasp the idea of personal tastes, cultural differences and that not everything is about black or white morality.

To say nothing of the bizarre personal attacks the moment someone suggests that maybe they just don't like a particular thing that is deliberately designed to be as over the top as possible.

Though this game's community has always had a portion of very strange individuals who feel compelled to attack people for liking or disliking the 'wrong' characters.

[Mesarthim]

Some people disliked Eureka, some liked Eureka. Some people disliked Bozja, some liked Bozja. Some people dislike Hildibrand, others like Hildibrand. Relics aren't even out yet but if the quests bother you that much then either don't do them or skip them.

Though it did seem to be an odd choice for relics. A relic questline is being divisive? Must be a day that ends with y.
