Hildibrand for relic? Really?

[Andy_T93]

Manderville stuff is juvenile garbage, fortunately I have done it all already, skipped every possible cutscene and muted the few that I couldn't will skip everything about this

[Deveryn]

How to say you're a boring person without using the word.

It feels like this thread is like a signal light for reapers/dark knight mains with how many "ughhhhh hildabrand so bad. unfunny" because you all just be lookin like edgelords. Id actually worry about you all getting exposed to the hildabrand cutscenes but your early 2000s emo haircut will probably keep most of it away from you.

[Theodric]

Nah. I think the real 'edgelords' are those who can't grasp the idea of personal tastes, cultural differences and that not everything is about black or white morality.

To say nothing of the bizarre personal attacks the moment someone suggests that maybe they just don't like a particular thing that is deliberately designed to be as over the top as possible.

Though this game's community has always had a portion of very strange individuals who feel compelled to attack people for liking or disliking the 'wrong' characters.

Some people disliked Eureka, some liked Eureka. Some people disliked Bozja, some liked Bozja. Some people dislike Hildibrand, others like Hildibrand. Relics aren't even out yet but if the quests bother you that much then either don't do them or skip them.

Though it did seem to be an odd choice for relics. A relic questline is being divisive? Must be a day that ends with y.

[RyuDragnier]

The problem is more that people are complaining about a simple questline you can get done in less than a day if you cutscene skip, and causing a huge fuss over what is to many a non-issue BECAUSE it's that quick to get through. Hell, it's faster than getting through Ivalice if you cutscene skip. People are raging and acting like this is the end of the world when IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. Just skip the cutscenes if you don't like the story and bumrush to the end. Spend a few hours today, or hell, do 1-2 quests a day, you'll still be done before it comes out. Speaking of which, it comes out IN OCTOBER. You have more than 2 months to do this.

I started playing in mid-late Heavensward, didn't see a point to grinding out a relic because at that point it was faster to go for a Shire weapon.

In Stormblood, I was excited to try when it was current, but then it was locked in Eureka. I didn't like Eureka, so I shrugged and didn't bother.

In Shadowbringers, I was excited to try again, but then it was locked at least partly behind Bozja. I didn't like Bozja, so I shrugged and didn't bother.

Now it'll be locked at least partly behind Hildebrand. If you don't like Hildebrand.....

It has absolutely nothing to do with "attacking people". I know not everyone is going to enjoy Hildibrand. This game has a variety of things for different people to enjoy. I enjoy doing content in general but dislike fishing; some people play this game only FOR the fishing, and that's cool!
The problem is people are making a HUGE fuss about quests that you can skip all the cutscenes and unsync the trials involved and pretty much ignore everything, taking no more then a few hours of your time. You also have some months to do this. Take a little bit of a break from your g-posing and club hopping and do a quest or two of it a day, then come back to it the next day and repeat until you're done.
Also... These are relic weapons, there's always something somewhere that you will find annoying.

[Hanayumi]

Hmm now that i think about, gonna hammer a guess that the silly weapon designs we had a short while ago, might end up being a step or 2 for this relic.

Blue mage was included in that... but probably not for that purpose... or was it?
