Eyes on Final Fantasy - Ultros to Appear in Dreams of Ice

That's right, popular Final Fantasy VI incompetent villain, Ultros, is joining the Final Fantasy XIV story! Ultros will be a character in the bizarre and hilarious Hildibrand sidequest when Patch 2.4, Dreams of Ice hits. Not only will Ultros be popping up to say hello but his buddy and equally incompetent partner in crime, Typhon, is joining him.

When blades clash with wriggling limbs, who will emerge victorious?

The Quest, The Dragon's Neck will follow another new Hildibrand quest called Hildibrand, Agent of Enquiry.

Will a Manderville man rise to claim the title of champion? Join Hildibrand and Nashu on their next case to find out!

This is all that has been revealed over at The Lodestone for now. Who knows what will happen to Hildibrand in the up and coming quests, and just what his next case could be! The Manderville Man himself is probably the biggest mystery...
