The Hildibrand saga has been the most popular side quest story in Final Fantasy XIV since the days of A Realm Reborn. It has become so loved that Square Enix usually continues the narrative in every expansion. Shadowbringers was the first time that Hildibrand did not receive any content, likely due to the development setbacks caused by the pandemic. Luckily, this hilarious tale is continuing in Patch 6.15.
