Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[KizuyaKatogami]

Last I checked Ysh's eyesight was never retconned. It's was said her life was draining that doesn't mean she'd die soon. And Thancred can't manipulate aether which happened in ARR, and hasn't had anything happened to him since until ShB with his near death fight with Ranjit (folks call that a cop out ofc) and then nothing til EW. Papy is indeed gone, the only main one outside of maybe Meon to do so, and even that wasn't until SB for him.

Yes the scions have been injured by weaker foes than the endsinger but they have gotten stronger same as us. And unless you missed it we got them out of there to avoid them getting hurt further. They weren't around for Zodis fight so we have no guage there. Also again with these "we get constant slice of life scenes". How often do we REALLY get those in the story? I've asked you to find this out like 3 times now. As for your lore right cutscene? We already got that in the Venat sundering. That's one of if not the best cutscene in the entire game and I'm FAR from the only person who thinks this. Same for the other scenes in the game. Battling n new animations all over the place in EW unlike anything we've seen so far from the game, yet folks are upset about burgers...oh and Ysh's magic girl bit is indeed character development something your crowd has complained about Scions not having but I guess thats bad now too?

And frankly wtf does any of this have to do with Hildy weps? Take the EW distain to that 6k post thread

Yshtola's life draining has never been mentioned since, not even a remark upon her have significant more draining in ShB due to being away from her body etc. As for your Venat's cutscene comment.....Its one of the worst lore ones. It portrays events inaccurately and out of order and is all via her biased perspective. As for how this is relevant, one of the reasons this was brought up was due to the seriousness of the story and hildibrand being more slice of life comedy which was prevalent in EW.

As for the slice of life scenes, what do you want me to go and count each and every one? you do that if it bothers you so much. Again, the most expensive animation this expansion was a slice of life fluff scene. Talk about mismanagement of resources.

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 appear 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.

Actually, back in ARR (meaning when it was current content) you could only unlock those Hard Modes for the primals if you started the grind for the relic. They were not optional, they could only be unlocked by the relic questline.

The unlock quest for the hard modes back in the ARR era was A Recurring Problem. This has never changed since 2.0. I have been around since September 2013 but never posted on the forums until earlier this year as i have never seen the need to. You absolutely needed to compete the Hard Modes to unlock The Binding Coil of Bahamut but they were never gated by relic.

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.

Ahh, been so long that I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction.

Was all biased towards her view? Wtf was biased about us being in her place walking towards Hades? What was biased about the fact she KNOWS conflict will come from those who will come after her? Where was it confirmed that her pleading to her people and them refusing is just her bias? Hate Venat all you want but keep your injection out of that. And last I checked something not being mentioned isn't a retcon...and yes Slice of life was prevalent yet wasn't the majority. Folks just laser focus on that aspect same as you. Also the story and all the seriousness is done for now. Is this not the best time to get into full on jokey stuff? And again...no one even knows if the quest line will be all jokes. Yall are once again assuming it is and adding more to the cesspool that is these forums. The Omega quest line isn't jokey, nor is the Pandemonium one or the alliance one we have. Yet let one other piece be POTENTIALLY fun n jokes and yall throw fits.
It's ridiculous at this point

No worries, the only reason I recall that was because I did Garuda HM back then and grinded for the SCH book only to realize afterward that a relic existed and it was a better weapon overall...I was not exactly happy over the waste of time when I realized I could've been doing working towards Omnilex instead and only needing that fight once.

Ya'll need to lighten up you're all miserable.

Exactly what I've been saying.

[Haruka_R]

I just love the irony of you constantly talking about wanting a deep and serious fantasy story filled with worldbuilding, and you’re wearing a modern day mid-life-crisis outfit with a baseball cap sitting in a flying car.

Thank you.
