I think they've been careful not to have a 1 to 1 correlation exactly so we don't end up having arguments like this and instead make these associations in game based on the distinguishing characteristics they establish there.



That was great! Here she is facing down angry tough mobs and the thing she just can't even with? A giant bird. It was one of those endearing little traits like Ysayle finding the moogles adorable.
Spot on.
People forget that localization and the fact that one community gave Accents to random races in the game, doesn't have much to do with a VA performance.

it's all just strawmen from those who have a bone to pick against this VA for either. Their own perceived notion, or mismatch of the character. Or dislike of the characters attitude/person. (and unfortunately the fact she is who she is outside the game.)

Her personal beliefs aside.
(cause let's be honest, typecasting VA's cause of their origin to only play certain roles is ridiculous and harming to overall quality.)
[which, ironically. for people playing a JP MMO that has allowed slight divergences to the way the characters are interpreted.
But has brought out some great localization regardless.(Cause it always follow the story, and intent)

It's this same ANIME community that doesn't understand the Real actual BS pains from real terrible localization in the rest of the media.]

Yet we have some making arguments against Wuk Lamat, who for all intents and purposes. At Minimum met her intent when localized.
