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

Worse than that, citizen. I'd say she's more akin to Jar Jar Binks.

Absolutely.

The best save SE can do now, is to do a Haurchefant on Poochie. Write in a way to kill the character off. Of course, she doesn't deserve sympathy, so I am thinking more like that M-Tribe neko with the bombs? Something comical to explode her?

I think we would cheer on that event, especially if we got a "Windup Poochie Rug" minion as a quest reward after she bit the big one.

It feels like she belongs with the My Little Pony cast. And even they would probably get tired of her.

Same here. I'm leveling my jobs and sending out my subs. I just don't have the energy to listen to Wuk Lamat anymore.
Wish I could say there were some memorable things up until the level 95 quests, but there wasn't a moment.
If SE wants to make up for this awful MSQ, then everyone should get a free MSQ story skip.

I swear that if this game allowed us to kill NPCs, I would had thrown Wuk Lamat out of the ship right after the expansion started and let her drown. Also, in my head, my WoL was regretting the whole time not being on Koana's team. And I, the player (like many others it seems), had to almost constantly force myself to play through the MSQ. Something that I had never felt before in FFXIV. Even Lyse was not this bad, as I could still tolerate to have her around.

Wuk Lamat acts like that annoying person that always NEEDS to be the center of attention. I agree that that's what makes people dislike her, far above the rest of her personality traits (and lore incongruencies, like her power increase out of the blue in comparison to other more experienced characters), because it forces us to deal with those all the time. Yes, girl, we've already seen you, and you're so cool, and fabulous, and strong. And I know that you hate this, and that over there too. Now please, shut up and go away for at least 5 minutes. Stop pushing yourself onto everyone else to be the protagonist, and give me some goddamn space. FFS, she even managed to get into the last trial, after I was already thanking Sphene for sending her away. Worse than leeches, I tell you.

I just hope that I never have to see or deal with her ever again. If after this point the story requires us to talk with anyone in charge in Tural, let it be Koana, Gulool Ja and/or the folks at Oblivion, or literally anyone else. But for the love of all that's holy, have some mercy and don't force us to suffer Wuk Lamat (again).

I played the game in Japanese, by the way. And if the character felt this bad, I don't ever want to experience how it was with the terrible English VA.

While Lyse is often compared, I think Wuk's situation also a lot like Minfilia now that i think of it.

- She was also a character that intended to be love and adore by the players.

- She was constantly simped by the NPC. The Scion back then couldn't really stop singing her praise.

- She suffered from bad design - the legendary pray return to the walking sand meme).

- She suffered from bad writing - instead of being seeing as a strong and effective leader Minfilia was seen as a weak and useless leader that treat the players like an errant boy. (hey, just like Wuk).

- The only positive meme about her was her butt.

I always think the reason she was sent to the first at the end of 2.xx was because SE realized they can't have such an unpopular character to remain as the heart of the Scion. They let her story cool down for 2 expansion than give her an decent send off. And frankly, I think Wuk is even more unpopular than Minfilia. So who know, it's not like it's unprecedent, if the pressure built and SE realize Wuk is a deadend, our wish of seeing her disappear one way or another is not exactly unreasonable or inconceivable.

Knowing how SE listens to feedback and their sunshine and rainbows twitter bubble, we will probably see more Wuk Lamat in the patch quests and next expansion

Which saddens me to say, I'll be leaving this game permanently if that happens

(Dunno if this has been used yet, friend sent it to me last night. lol)

Minfilia didn't quite bother me much because we were just an adventurer and she was a window into a larger and more complex world. Generally, in this game, the ones that became my favorite characters waited their turn and had a great moment where virtue was shown. Thancred's fight with Ranjit being one of the ones that stood out for me. I never cared for him before that and that was the best moment of SB for me. Wuk Lamat on the other hand has no virtues and nothing to teach you. She's not worthy of giving the Scions orders or leading us. So it is terrible to have her shoved down our throats and have every character affirm her and constantly tell her how great she is. Especially when we know she is not. And it sucks even more to have the player's character essentially be uninvolved in the story.

Unfortunately for all of us, Twitter "Loves" this character. .-. We need to deal with that problem.
