Sure, she could be airheaded, but she wasn't falling into holes or crying for the sake of "comedy" and espousing lines like "peace good, war bad". Wuk Lamat is a black hole for interesting writing in an otherwise decent expansion.
    I need to replay Stormblood tbh, but I don't remember disliking Lyse as a character, I remember disliking the story because it started to just repeat itself at the half way point.

    I'm just going to say that during the final trial, I decided to skip every cutscene after because of what happens in the trial because I was just over it at that point.

    I was in the same boat and didn't mind Lyse as much. I think what helped was the excellent prelude into Stormblood. I will never forget how good the Baelsar's Wall soliloquy was right before the Shinryu reveal. That is to say I do agree with some of the points on why Lyse was so hated. To be fair, Lyse was also funny and gave us the Namazu kick.


    Now for DT, we've had like 2 rushed quests, and on the boat we go?

    I'm level 98 and probably nearing the end of the MSQ. I should be excited. The stakes should be raised. I should be hooked at this point. I'm bored. I'm typing on here in between dialogue because I'm so bored. I'm burnt out of hanging out with Wuk Lamat. I'm going to bed and trying again tomorrow.

    Level is a very bad indicator of how much you have left in the MSQ. The MSQ itself gives way too much xp. A better indication is how many areas you have left to explore, which you can see in the Aether Currents menu.

    I'm almost 98 and I'm not even done with the third area of 6.

    It's a decent indicator if you do nothing but MSQ, which I have been. I'm in the second to last zone.
