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

[Karen_Cerfrumos]

I think the worldbuilding is a huge problem too. Original part of Eorzea we now know to be located somewhere around what is Africa on Earth, but that did not influence its design, it's a fairly uniquely laid out fantasy land with its own visual flairs and an assortment of cultures. Garlemald was a non-descript evil Empire so it had to be Rome, Russia with maybe a tinge of WW2 Germany. Well alright. Far East was oddly pan-Asian but still within expectations of a fantasy world. For some reason, Americas had to be semi-realistically represented - here's Machu Pichu, here's Texas (with cowboys) which from Yoshida's own words required "sensitivity consultants" to make sure it's being properly represented. But, huh? Why are you bringing real world representation into an ostensibly made up world all of a sudden? Why is the game in which people of various shapes and creeds have come together several times is now lecturing me on how banding together and accepting one another is good, actually? I heard some suggest that the role of WoL and scions was consciously toned down to avoid "white savior" syndrome, that's why the story is 90% Wuk and 10% Erenville. But... are you sure WoL is white? They don't hail from fantasy Europe and you can customize them to be a person of color, meanwhile a lot of people in Tural who aren't a birdman, a Hrothgar or a Mamool Ja is white with some exceptions. How did this happen?

You can't tell me Western diversity cultists aren't influencing the game in a big way, it is plain to see.

Wuk Lamat better stay in her country and not keep following us around or I swear to god

"I've decided that to best serve Tuliyollal I need to go abroad and get to know as many people as I can! Only then can I fulfill my duty as the Vow of Resolve like Papa wanted and make every one happy!"

Look forward to it. :P

Build the wall. Make Eorzea great again.

It's obvious certain "consultants" meddled with the writing.

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

Calling it now. Wuk Lamat will be part of the normal and 24 party raids.

I'm going to be sick...

The scene after she succeeds with Koana coming into your ream reads like a bad fanfic where Self Insert OC Do Not Steal has their brother check on the actual canonical MC to confirm feelings of closeness. I mean the line is literally "You have become someone irreplaceable to her. As her brother, I acknowledge that with no little jealousy"

That reads like a child wrote it about their OC falling in love with Harry Potter, or WoL in this case, and it's actually gross and I want to scrub myself down to the BONE after feeling that absolute excrement poured onto me as the player. Absolutely vile... I wouldn't even want a replacement for her. I'd rather she go and leave me healthier for it, the cancerous lump she has turned out to be.

I'm not normally this harsh but damn that was bad

When Koana told me she wanted me in her administration, I shuddered. When she told me I could call her by the name her family calls her, I thought "Wait, isn't Lomotil an anti-diarrhea medication?" but then I also thought, "Uh, no. I've known you for like 3 days. Not only are we not like family, I'm finding you a tad creepy, not gonna lie. Thank god this is the first time '...' is available to use." Then, when she said she wanted me to stay with her in Tuliyollal... No? Just no. I AM NOT INTERESTED, LITTLE SUN.

[Palladiamors]

I...thought you were exaggerating. Then she broke through the space time continuum to continue forcing herself into the limelight..

I don't think they did. It would be way more obvious if they did. The story is bad, but it's not awkwardly filled with political or ideological messages.
If you wanted to come up with a thesis for the story, it's that understanding leads the way to peace. And I'd hardly call that politically motivated.

Yeah I think its more like furries got control somewhere in the team

That amount of forceful screentime for Wuk is not normal
