If you focus on what makes you upset, you're always going to be upset.

Some people are going to enjoy the Hildibrand quests with the relics, others are going to groan but stomach through it anyway, and I guess others are going to ignore it on principle because they don't want silly in their FF game and either miss out on relic or miss out on relic AND complain about it in the forums. It's just a questline. It's also new so it's not like it's retconning or replacing anything.

We still don't know what it will involve or what the relics will look like either. If the weapons are gaudy or the quests or the process absolutely suck then by all means complain and I will too. But all we know right now is that Hildibrand is tied to relic and nothing else so all that can be accomplished is virtue signaling on either side whether or not you like Hildibrand.
Having them be thrown into major story aspects and revolve around major story aspects is. How about the flying pigs that cure one of the most dangerous and serious plot points since the beginning of the game? This whole trend of major fluff and haha funny became a major problem starting in ShB and has since gotten worse. It’s not even comparable to say, HW where yes you had the odd moment with the moogles or with estinien and alphinaud sibling rivalry antics, but it didn’t take away from the story nor did it feel THAT out of place. Whereas with the loporrits you’re literally at the end of the world and forced to play dress up and take them on fruit sampling tours while people are being massacred. So i can’t focus on the story i guess? They’re a major part of it after all.


We’re going from having 4 relic zones and an entire story that gave us depth and backstory on various major plot points in the game to….Hildibrand whose storyline is typically motioned as Non-canon and adding nothing substantial to the actual story. We’re missing out on the chance to get actual worldbuilding and serious plot points discussed and instead getting a storyline revolving around characters who are known for their wild and haha funny antics…..
