TLDR Because we aren't nearly as enthusiastic as a community to "tune in" to the next part of the story, which was almost entirely about Wuk Lamat, every other issue FFXIV has as a game are now front and center.


It's easy to point to her as a central point of frustration with the issues DT has and most of the issues with the story are because the expansion is actually her story. She's boring and clingy at best, a one-note shonen style protag, and the writing is technically bad, with contrivances and lack of friction to allow Wuk Lamat to always succeed.

Many other characters are severely under utilized and developed. Krile and both of Wuk Brothers really suffer from that.

And because the story is at it's worst point, all the other issues FFXIV has are suddenly front and center, as we don't have anything to make us happy to grind through it. The job design is simpler. The patches are taking longer. The new content is super hit or miss, with too much emphasis on certain types of content each patch.

I don't even want to go into the bait-and-switch advertising we got from DT's build up.

To be fair we get a whole lot of bait and switch in the lead up to every single expansion. Do not forget becoming an exiled criminal in ARR, the Scions vs Sharlayan in Endwalker, and the biggest and most notorious lie that could have been something literally gamechanging and epic like the "become the warrior of darkness!" in Shadowbringers.

All of these just ended up being barely acknowledged fluff or throw away plot points.

All I know is if they make her a Scion, I'm done. I can't deal with her on a long-term basis. I always get worried that Yoshi P. reacts out of spite sometimes with the community. He knows she is disliked, so I could see him forcing her on us all just to prove a point.

Because she's one of the worst written characters ever and we had to deal with having her forced onto us through the entire expansion.

This is why I'm hoping she stays in Tural ala Lyse in Ala Mihgo, and let Real Sphene join the Scions instead.

Same. They could really do anything with her, but the only thing I think the majority of the player base would accept is retirement from MSQ.

She's a queen without a kingdom and has functionally already acknowledged that she's out of time and place. That is one of really 'three paths' that this could go, and I think fans will riot at this point if they choose either of the other two.
