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

I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WGzXuG1ucs&t=2s she should be fired for sure. (I don't watch this youtuber, but I did the research after)

Don't watch them but conveniently spreading their platform where they go off regularly about reactionary conspiracies like white replacement, et al? Hm, curious. Not to mention how they, before their banning from xivdiscussion, would always get dunked on for their most wild and uncharitable interpretations of literally everything (despite not knowing Japanese and relying solely on machine translation they would infer the most hilarious things from interviews that no reasonable person would).

Nah, I totally believe you, you just happened across this channel's ai voiced ramblings and thought "this would be good to share".

I don't watch them. The only convenience was me searching for more FF stuff, and coming to the forums and searching for kate, that is it cut and dry. I have no idea about their other videos, or anything they've done outside of that video alone. But now i'm going to look further into them and see what the hubub is about.

Edit: Yeah...I can definitely see what you mean though, about their vids. Hmm. Does seem to be quite a bit of outlandish takes, a load of doom posting, and sensational things. Well then.


Edit2: Given the recent situation that has taken place on 9/10, my position has changed. Fire Kate, fire all of the ilk that think and agree with/like her.

Sena Bryer calls herself a white woman so I'm going off of that. She's also voiced dissent about people who voice characters of the wrong background/orientation so I apply that standard to her as well.

I do not believe she was a good fit for Wuk Lamat, and she's had a looooot of lines to give as the character and there really hasn't been any growing into the role.

Rerecording doesn't delete her subpart ability to play the role.

I don't think the re-recording is all that much of an improvement.
We also more or less got the exact same scene with Wuk before she jobbed to the wall, and got another incredibly flat performance, so I'm going to assume Sena just struggles to emote while doing the Wuk Voice.

Holy moly, you people are still going.

And there even is mentioning of DEI just one page ago.

Like, please seek help. Thank you for your understanding.

Not to mention the rerecording is still bad, just not insultingly bad.
And as we can see from the lowercase yelling in 7.3 the VA did not improve.

I agree with you.

Just got polite moment when writing last time.

Something like: "Guess I should acknowledge that something was tried to fix the mess. Though it was nothing burger."

Feels like people forget just how consistently underwhelming a lot of the English voice acting is in FFXIV, especially in DT. Lyna in Shadowbringers and a few others stand out at specific moments, but a lot of the time, everyone feels like they're entirely too calm about everything going on. Actual screaming is unheard of.

Wuk still getting this kind of hate is just silly.
