The Negative Impact of Poor Character Writing on the Quality of Dawntrail's MSQ

On the whole "naive idealist" we already had that... He's called Alphinaud. Although wuk didn't come into contact with reality and didn't have to grow.

Agreed. If Sphene-bot, at the very end had been like "No, you're wrong Wuk, I am right" and then died, I think it would've been a better way for Wuk to have to face the fact that you can't just Talk No Jutsu your way out of every problem.

I ain't reading 20+ pages of comments so idk if this idea went any further, but here's my two cents.

I'd prefer if Zereel Ja had done that. His heel-face turn was cheap and unconvincing in the first place, so nix it. Have Wuk Lamat learn that some problems can't be solved so easily halfway through the expac instead of at the very end. She feels a bit jaded. Everything with Zoraal Ja compounds that feeling. And then Sphene-bot, who despite being uncompromising in her goals is never portrayed as malicious, can teach Wuk Lamat that even though it's not always possible, you always have to try, because sometimes it is possible.

Have Wuk Lamat fall and then rise again, not just fall at the very end.

Having just done the last trial (and finish DT), I was expecting Sphene to say "I hate you. You destroy my people" (okay that might be a bit OOC from Sphene, but I desperately want the game to stop agreeing with Wuk).
