The trio spend a short time talking about the newest Hildibrand quest content, for good reason. Most of the rest of our first show of 2025 is the off-the-rails chaos we're used to here! Marvel Rivals, Infinity Nikki, Sword Art Online, and even the most recent Nosferatu movie are brought up as we check in on each other after the holidays.

Hello Gentlepeople! We here at The Manderville Minute have been covering the amazing work of Manderville Family in all facets of Ul'dah life, and this time we have decided to tackle the most gentlemanly of gentlemen: Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville. He is a Manderville Man that can only do what a Manderville can, as he travels the realm as a self-titled “agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire” alongside his assistant, Nashu Mhakaracca. Now wait just a gosh darn moment… No, what do you mean this about an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV? No, this is an audio recording all about one of our great Thanalan heroes! Perish the thought that this could be about some mere game.Spoiler Levels: Truffles à la Manderville! This is a sweet and fluffy episode. We do talk about all sorts of the events that you can find in the various Hildibrand Adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, up to and including the events and trial in Patch 6.55. While we don't get into too much MSQ talk… If you want to go into Hildibrand completely unsullied, this is your warning.Manderville NotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

Hello Adventurers! Now that we are solidly in the true “Wait Till Dawntrail” part of our Final Fantasy XIV life cycle, we thought it was best to look back to what we just got to play through. And that is Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55: Growing Light – Part 2! Not only did we get our true onramp storyline-wise leading into the upcoming expansion, but we also got a bunch of capstones to a lot of side content. From Hildebrand blasting off again, to seeing how our allied tribe quests sorted out, we are talking about it all. Yes, even the part about the cheese. Spoiler Levels: Very Hot, like Spicy Stellar Soup hot! This is a very hot and savory episode. We namedrop Endwalker Extremes from the get-go, we talk about stuff that happened in Stormblood, and how everything is leading into Dawntrail. This is for those that are either very current players, or really don't care about spoilers.OSMnotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

Due to some technical difficulties, we had to cut this one a little short. No, that's not a Lalafell joke. Meagan, Brandon, and Brian talk about the conclusion to the current Hildibrand questline and at least two Final Fantasy games that aren't XIV. No Baldur's Gate 3 talk this time, folks!

Spoiler-filled chat about the 6.55 story quests and Hildibrand! Also, spice must flow.
Lucky Bancho has released the player census for patch 6.2, and the numbers are impressive as always! It seems FFXIV just keeps growing! We start off with our review of All Saints' Wake 2022. We also review most of the content in 6.25, like the Variant/Criterion dungeons, and the tribal quests, but don't worry, we won't spoil the new Hildibrand quests, nor the follow-up quests for the tribal quests. Yoshi-P dropped some more info in a recent Gamer interview, so let's discuss that as well!
Just in time for Patch 6.25, the crew have caught up on their Hildibrand adventures! The Hildi-bonanza concludes with most of the show focused on Meagan, Brian, and Brandon's thoughts on the pagentry, the drama, and the sheer chaos that is the life of Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville.

Welcome to another delightful episode of Star Trek Voyenture Time, with all of your favorite hosts, Andrew, he's the one who brings the energy, Sarah, she's thoughtful and knows more about Star Trek than the rest of us combined, Nathan, when his equipment is working, and Ben is also here. So lets jump right into it... Ok with the fake show notes done, this part is just for me, maybe for Liz. I'm going to start talking about the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 and no one can stop me. I just did the Hildibrand questline, and holy shit I loved it so much. The fact that all of the Manderville's are just cartoon characters and everyone else in this universe is just constantly surprised at the beatings that they will take, or the insane feats that they will do is just so god damn good every time. Oh, Hildibrand fell into a drift of snow and can't move his arms to get himself out? Godbert better launch him into the sky. Hildibrand wants to knock his dad out of being mind controlled by an overactive drug? The solution is obviously to grab him, jump four stories up and try to suplex him, only for the effect to wear off early and for Godbert to reverse it and pile drive his son into the ground and do a mambo in celebration. It's so good and overtly dumb in all the best ways. I love it.

News: Final Fantasy Explorers: According to Siliconera, Japanese Amazon reviews on the new monster-hunter-like Final Fantasy game note that although people liked the game, most were expecting something MORE similar to Monster Hunter. Insead, there were many complaints that there was too much walking in the game, being compared to Final Fantasy XI. There has been talk of a patch to address these problems, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Final Fantasy XIV: The last patch of the current patch cycle for the game, before the release of Heavensward, patch 2.5 entitled “Before the Fall”, is not only an ominous title, but also a patch of epic proportions. This is what we know about the patch according to Square Enix: “Part one of Before the Fall is scheduled for the mid to end of January with the release of patch 2.5, which contains myriad challenges for adventurers of every persuasion. The patch will include roughly two-thirds of the final main scenario quests, three new dungeons, and the conclusion of the Crystal Tower questline and the World of Darkness. The patch will also feature the adventures of Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire─on his latest (and perhaps final?) investigation, a new battle against Odin, the Dark Divinity of legend, in Urth’s Fount, new gear for gatherers and crafters, numerous new recipes, and more. We have plenty planned to make this patch a befitting prelude to the end of the 2.X storyline. There will be much to do in patch 2.5, and before we bombard you with more in part 2, we’ll be offering players a change of pace with patch 2.51, which focuses on the introduction of the Gold Saucer. It bears mentioning, however, that the establishment is known as the Manderville Gold Saucer in Eorzea. You’ll have to check it out for yourself to figure out where this moniker came from. Including chocobo racing, chocobo breeding, and the return of the FF card game Triple Triad, you can look forward to a fun and relaxing time in the Gold Saucer. Part two of Before the Fall is scheduled for the end of March, closing the curtain on the story that brought about the rebirth of Eorzea. What trials and tribulations await the Warrior of Light? What drastic turn of events will grant passage to the reclusive nation of Ishgard? Only time will tell.” Final Fantasy XV: According to gameranx: Final Fantasy 15 lead game designer Wan Hazmer shared some new details regarding the game in a panel named The History and Future of Final Fantasy. We'll pass over details mentioned before and discuss what they revealed here that's new. Wan stressed the importance of camping periodically. Basically, camping is when you have an opportunity to power your self up, using food you can prepare using different ingredients. These effects gradually decrease in time, giving you incentive to camp again. Also an incentive to camp is experience. While you earn experience throughout the game, you can only 'cash in' that experience and level up at camp. The game will now have a 60 minute day/night cycle. 40 minutes of that will be daytime, and 20 minutes night. The doubling of a day from 30 to 60 minutes implies there are some tasks that will take you a considerable amount of time to accomplish. Final Fantasy XV: As per the recent interview between Famitsu and Hajime Tabata: They’re trying to make a more realistic feel to the games dimensions. They based the town we saw in the most recent trailer on the people and design of the Bahamas. We will be able to talk to NPC’s, and they will react accordingly to a prince in their presence.
