Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[Xeronia]

If you have done Hildy, you should consider doing the Scholasticate quests. They provide an example of a character from the Hildy storyline where it isn't a slapstick comedy story. Considering we've only see Godbert for this, it's very possible this will go the same way. He clowns when he's with his son, but he's a highly respected member of the Syndicate, a successful businessman who owns the Gold Saucer, moonlights at the winter holidays as the Saint of Nymeia, and is renowned as a master goldsmith. It's that last bit that makes it very possible these will be some amazing weapons, as you have the blacksmith who can imbue souls into weapons with arguably the finest craftsman around.

Oh I love the Scholasticate , it is the reason I did ARR Hildibrand initially. My issue is if it is just Godbert why is the entire quest required and not simply ARR Hildibrand only? Godbert has also appeared in the MSQ during Stormblood as the owner of Gold Saucer. The fact every part is required really just doesn't fill me with with a ton of hope this won't be more of that.

I'm incredibly curious why it will unlock with the Somewhat Further line myself. But I trust that they have a solid reason. There's something in the questline up to that point that is going to be important or at least will establish something that needs to be established. We may not even fully understand the connection until we're at the end of the questline.

My theory is that it is related to Gilgamesh somehow. He's a master of weapons, after all.

But he shows up before the Somewhat Further line. So if it's just knowing him, then the unlock could be up to a certain point in the Hildy progression. It is possible we're going to see Gilgamesh again in the current line and it needs the events earlier in the line to happen. That would not surprise me in the slightest.
