Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

I was doing the final trial and loving it. Who should so happen to insert herself in again and ruin it. She's like a worse zenos, just allways there making everything about her

It would not be the solution but it would calm down people quite a bit.

This is what I hope for: them acknowledging the feedback. I mean, I still want to trust the dev team.

And remember this?

I hope they still take this seriously.

At the harvest float, I was still in an overall good mood if slightly bored, but foolishly optimistic that we'd get a turn of the narrative soon, so this would just be a kind of stupid and unfortunate episode. I was still making light-hearted jokes to my friend then about the "cultural sensitivity", see also: Our culture is, we like fair trade and alpacas.
But I lost it at the dead baby dilemma in the third zone, when for once there seemed to be a darker turn to something in the story, and it's solved within 5 minutes by the classic method of: "Did you know you have bad magical rocks in your forest? But it's okay, we have foreign scholars and science so we can give you better plants, use those. Now you don't have to get all those babies killed anymore." And everyone's happy.

The problem is how they define the word "fans" to begin with, they may think of fans as the ones who see them do no wrong and consider the ones who are vocal or critical to the game as "non-fans" or "loud minority". While I do not understand it fully, the western side of stuff tends to do that, such as the case of Disney and Star War, ending up with their own echo chamber of praise and rejecting any criticism from "fans" as from haters.

I didn't have the impression they do this up until now. They seemed to listen to both sides equally.
But if this should prove true, which I hope it won't, then everything they apparently learned would be null and void.
Please don't take this route devs.

The true irony.... by the end of Endwalker I legitimately felt more kinship with Zenos than I do Wuk Lamat at the end of dawntrail. We have things in common, we do have similar drive, we saw each other as real rivals and had mutal respect for our combat prowess if nothing else. I have no respect for Wuk Lamat at all. She is not my student, she is not my friend. She is an albatross hanging around my neck.

Fourth Zone has been great without her, it actually has a theme, things are looking up but the storyline of the bracelet...

I never played an FF expansion where the quality of the writing goes up and down so dramatically as so far has highlighted for me in the Fourth Zone...It's jarring and somehow it's still better than the first two zones and a little more than third zone.

Lol i remember this, It just makes me think all the more that Dawntrail was entrusted to newer people who just dont get it.

I actually like her start from third map.

There is also an increased focus from popular content creators who cry out for the superficial over the substance.
