Hab is terribly lonely, and longs to be reunited with his erstwhile sabotender friends.And so far, at least I’m not bored with this jackanape.Zombies Are People Too is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The rewards aren’t great, at least not so far, but I’m willing to forgo monetary compensation if I’m given a good story. I asked a friend why he does this, and I was told, “If you got it, flaunt it.” OK then. Probably the weirdest thing about him is that he keeps striking these two muscle flex poses that are used over and over again (if nothing else, this game does love reusing poses). Could have done without his comments, too. And the player is allowed in on the joke by enjoying the comments of everyone around this character who keeps calling him out on his inanity.Īlthough I really, really, really could have done without the quest during which I had to keep rubbing oil onto Hildibrand’s semi-naked body so that he could go for a dip in a one-foot-deep pond. It’s not new territory (see: Pink Panther, Inspector Gadget, etc.) but it does give a different approach to this fantasy world. The running joke is that Hildy is a buffoon and a completely ineffectual investigator even as he somehow stumbles into success time and again. I was kind of impressed at all of the expressions and actions that the devs worked into these cutscenes. It’s just so… so… cheesy and cartoonish as it breaks the fourth wall of the game and embraces slapstick comedy with wanton abandon. The other half was strangely amused and even laughed on occasion. I mean, half of me felt like this was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in an MMO. He also has an ADD assistant who is, for some reason, obsessed with pumpkins and explosives.ĭuring this introduction, I found myself absolutely flabbergasted and unable to fully process how I should feel about this. Also, he’s not a zombie, he just thinks he is.
#Zombie quest ff14 inspector series
I ran through the first four quests (Patch 2.1) last week, meeting up with Hildibrand (or “Hildy,” as my guildies are wont to call him) as he begins the series dead in a grave but not really dead because he’s a zombie but not a normal zombie no he’s a GENTLEMAN zombie who is influencing all of the other zombies to dress and act well. I mean, I thought I was inoculated against Japanese weirdness, but that country keeps on surprising me.

More accurately, he might be described as some sort of LSD-injected Scooby Doo dream that will pretty much leave your jaw unhinged and your eyebrows permanently raised during any encounters. To those who haven’t played FFXIV, Hildibrand might charitably be described as a private detective who serves as comedic relief. Well, I’m back and am giving myself a break from the elves and dragons of Heavensward by running through some of his quest lines. I didn’t go into this completely unwary and uninformed I had heard of the legend of this bizarre character for a couple of years now and had made a mental note to do his quests if I ever came back to the game. Well, it had to happen sooner or later in Final Fantasy XIV: I met Hildibrand.
