Hildibrand for relic? Really?

This is a bit of a concern to me too, but I don't think they're going to be honestly.
It's not only Hildibrand, keep in mind that Gerolt is still involved too.

My guess is that they're not going to be '' clown weapons '' but moreso majestic and all golden and stuff maybe.
I think the design theme they might be going with is something like '' masterpiece ''.
I don't think it'll be like the Saucer weapons or anything like that.

This is what I'm expecting. I mean, look at the kettles. Yes they're a bit silly but they also are visually impressive. We can expect no less from Gerolt and Godbert is a master goldsmith. I'd love if they brought Jalzahn back into things, too.

Here's hoping. When I hear about relics I'm thinking about something powerful, no matter how it was introduced. If they make the relic steps funny but keep the designs acceptable, then fine, so be it.

You are assuming they are "powerful"..they could just as easily be glamour weps.

This sounds like fun....remember what that is? Fun? Enjoyment?

Not every damned thing in the FF 14 world has to be tied to player power

Stop trolling. Relic weapons have been stronger than current content, only second to savage weapons.

As I said, they could easily be glamour weapons as well. How about we WAIT and get more details?

All I'm seeing is 10 pages that demonstrate how the target audience and playerbase has shifted away from what originally brought me to this game. This is just disappointing.

I'm pretty sure people who loved Hildebrand and silly story lines have always been here. Just not everyone likes the same sort of content.

These people were not being catered to directly in the MSQ and now in relic content in the way that is happening now. Looks like with "quest centric progression" we've lost the exploratory zones as well.

Did they say Relic was going to be tied to MSQ this time? It's not always so I must have missed that. If you could cite sources I would greatly appreciate it.

And now we finally have a solid reason not to mix try-hard relic farmers with easy-going Hildy fans. Not to offend the guy, but people always liked him for silly humor, not for weapons. We like Gerolt for weapons and Rowena for bullying Geralt into making said weapons. They don't need third party in their perfectly dysfunctional relationships.

Hildibrand has always been a beloved part of this game, all the way back to ARR. They brought him back when they hadn't planned to because the demand was made loud and clear to them.
