Meanwhile, we have Hildibrand questline requirement now, which you can complete in a couple of hours and even less if you skip all dialogues and cutscenes (The latter which is lengthy and contributes the most to the length of Hildibrand questlines)
Also, Hildibrand SB trial has an absurd long queue time, and with Hildibrand being a requirement now, it would help boost the queue times on Hildibrand duties.

So far I only see positive points here, with the only negative point being locking the relic weapons behind a questline, but that's not the first time and I think it's the standard now.
