Endwalker Relics

[Akiudo]

if you truly needed to do 5 hours of hildibrand you clearly did more than the last few quests (and you also didn't skip the cutscenes, skip everything and the thing can easily be done in 2,5 hours or so if you just hammer the skip button.) so you got to experience an actual storyline, silly as it is, unlocked several emotes, glamour items and trials. and yes, previous relics did require several hours of time investments to even get started, no bozja without ivalice raids for example.

they also gave us a heads up that we need to complete the hildibrand questline, more than once in fact, and considering you didn't find the forums just yesterday i frankly just don't believe you that you didn't get the memo.
