I agree, only reason I brought it up was because of the Live Letter after the final cinematic where he mentioned Hildebrand in the first question, I mean he straight up said that we'll see him in 2.0, but the comment about him having a cameo appearance in the cinematic I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or hinting at something. Also no idea if he'll be the same in 2.0, as horrible as the final events were wars have been known to change a man. Not to mention we have no idea how it was on the surface of Dalamud, or if he got to the core with Bahamut I'm sure 2.0 will tell us, but I'm pretty sure that guy has gone through alot.
