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

[Shibi]

In the first two zones at least, she has yet to become actually relevant to anything aside from her own story.

I am seeing a number of shades of Yda in Wuk, already.

[Karious]

Perhaps I treated Lyse too harshly, god damn.

[MichiKyou]

I enjoy Wuk, she gives me the 'Genkii girl who didnt listen in class' vibes.

[Bellsong]

Lyse was worse.

[Sayo_]

Perhaps I treated Lyse too harshly, god damn.

Yeah having recently did stormblood again I think the Lyse hate was overblown. The Yda to Lyse thing was contrived yeah but as far as her character goes I think she had good growth. She was put into a position of power at a time when she didn't want it or think she was right for it after Conrad's demise. But as time went on she learned how to lead properly, even had help from Raubahn..

Contrast that with Wuk who is foolish and annoying from the start. It's strange that she wants to be the leader but has such little experience with the lands of Tural. She needs really basic concepts explained to her like how trading works. I don't think there was ever a time when Lyse was told "Hey don't do this" and then she runs off and instantly does the thing she was just told not to do. This has unfortunately happened with Wuk.

[CaptainLagbeard]

For Lyse I had no strong feelings one way or the other.

But Wuk... I suppose the best I can describe in short form is an incompetent chuunibyou with ADHD.

[Mawlzy]

Not gonna spoil anything but my god. It's actually difficult to do the MSQ with such an obnoxious character.

Maybe I'll change my mind at the end... maybe... but it doesn't seem that way anymore...

Interesting how opinions can vary. I can't imagine anyone finding her "obnoxious." She's quirky and endearing to me. It's a change of pace from many of the other characters, and to me a welcome one. If Alphinaud had an unfortunate accident and drowned in a bog, that would greatly improve the MSQ for me. Wuk Lamat is a breath of fresh air.

[Grimno]

This is the worst MSQ this game ever had, by a wide margin. It's worse than every 6.X. Hell, it even makes 6.X look good in comparison. I hope SE feels bad about it, there are no excuses.

When I tell folks on Discord that people in the FFXIV forums don't just, not like something, but launch right into a "The west has fallen. Billions must die" mentality... this... this is what I mean lol

[Gullis]

I'm not very far into it, finished the firT two halves of the 2 zones, and assume dungeon coming soon.

She is slowly growing on me, I found her annoying at first, but she has potential, if she keeps growing as a character, which the msq currently is all about

[Vyrerus]

I'm not super far in yet, thanks to Elden Ring DLC being so baller, and my time being so limited.

However, I'm already not a big fan. There was a dialogue option to basically tell her, "Yeah, that's not how we should go about this." And then she replies with a humma-humma, "But it's not a bad idea!" And the twins are like, "Well, it may not be the best idea but Wookie is the candidate, not us, so we gotta follow along and hope for the best!"

And I had to go to bed cause I needed at least 5 hours sleep before my 45 minute commute, but where I left off at, it seems like it's all gonna come together and just work out for her, but perhaps G'raha Mint Chocolate Chip edition is also gonna share some credit for finding the meatier solution to the problem.
