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

Just finished the last trial. The moment Wuk Lamat appeared I was fuming.

Wuk single handedly destroyed the intensity of the final battle with her awful monotone voice acting. Please recast her or better yet just have her never appear again.

Arenvald was one of the best NPCs poor guy.

Before the DT announcement when we were all still under the impression that the scions were going to take a back seat for a bit while other npcs got a shot in the spotlight, I was hoping beyond hope that Arenvald was going to be one of the new major npcs of the game. I was hoping he would fill a Tataru role and we would have a ton of interactions with him. Have him regain some use of his legs and have him pick up spellcasting so he could still have a place in battle when the story called for it. Anything would have been good. But instead we got another annoying cat.

Yeah, I just finished last night and that was absolutely infuriating. I don't dislike the character, mostly thought there needed to be 30% less of her...but at that moment, I would have been happy if I never saw her again for the life of the game and now I do not wish to do that trial ever again, despite the fact that I was enjoying it so much until she showed up.

We just cut back to the trial and our character is looking at Wuk Lamat dumbfounded at what just happened

I had the idea of everything was just a fever dream and we were still fighting Meteion at the edge of the universe. 6.1-7.0 simply never happened and the story reveals us to have woken up from the brink of death to pursue Meteion.

That's how I felt when Zenos appeared in the last fight, I hated him. I guess they copied the moment but with a different character, hah! Rehash.

On that note, I don't think Wuk Lamat ruined the story, the WRITERS did.

I didn’t even hate the fact that Zenos appeared (I got used to it, after 3 expansions, whatever), but the fact that he even offered me to ignore him and leave, which i would rather have done, while the game forced me to stay instead and have that ‘climax’ over the one which was actually story relevant - really angered me and tainted my whole satisfaction over the ending.
These fake choices which are there with “yes” and “yes!” have been present since ShB actually. Probably I should not be too surprised with how everything just doubled down on it in DT.

What did they do to Arenvald? as far as I know he's still alive.

I feel you. I watched the backs of Alisae and G'raha run off into the Wuk Lamat-less distance and something inside of me died a little.

Another sacrifice was G'raha!Jonathan Bailey. The only reason I play FFXIV in Eng dub, when I am always opting for Japanese dub anywhere else, is because of the voice acting in Shadowbringers. And by that, I mean G'raha and Emet-Selch's voice actors. Actual legends. I am now just a number of the crowd that bailed for the Japanese dub after losing patience with most things in this expansion in English.

Thanks Wuk Lamat, for bringing nothing with your expansion and taking away instead.
