Wuk Lamat is the worst and most annoying character ever in this game

[Avoidy]

I feel like I already wrote my issues with each of these things in my original post, but I guess I wasn't clear. I'll go over each point and my problems with it again.

Actually, this was directly addressed in the story. We made the point that we need more information and that this was all happening too fast.

So we go hunting together and what we find out is that if one of the competitors wins the contest, they will try to wage war with Eorzea and the rest of the eastern continents. That directly affects us. It's the domain that we have spent our life defending. To me, that is what justified us going.

I didn't think going hunting together one (1) time was a good way to make me feel like this new character was worth helping or was even a trustworthy person. This is the sort of work that takes longer imo and it felt like they wanted us to like her, in a really short period of time, so they used hunting as a way to shoehorn the idea that Wuk is trustworthy instead of warming us up to her in a more organic way. Furthermore, unless I'm mistaken, in the feast scene after the hunt, the competitor Wuk is at odds with is said to be eyeing Garlemald since it's weak and without a real leader at the moment, and Garlemald is a region that I honestly don't care about at all. I'd go rewatch the scene to confirm that they're trying to hit up Garlemald and not, like, New Gridania or something, but I'm at work and can't log in.

But then we also discovered that Krile's forefather had received a letter at some point, requesting that they investigate the city of gold and what it really is, something they can no longer do because the Isle of Val was swept away and they ultimately didn't live to address the contents of the letter. That is also quite a good reason.

An interesting bit here, is when Wuk examines Krile's letter and she straight up says it looks forged as hell. The language is different, and the seal is the kind they wouldn't even use in her country. She only acknowledges that it might have been a dictated letter when she notices how put out Krile seems at the prospect of her letter being inauthentic. So to me, a letter that looks more like a fake (or even a trap) than an actual invitation, isn't a good reason either.

So we ended up with two good reasons and just needed to consult with everyone to make sure they are in agreement that we are going.

I completely disagree.
