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

[Dogempire]

I gave up. I can't go on. It's just sapped all the joy from the game. My character logged out in western town, and that's it for me.

I think I'll just call her Woke Lameass and move on.

How to kill a very successful franchise in 1 character.

Honestly, Western Town is the only good section in MSQ, precisely because it doesn't have Wuk Lamat in it so the writers can actually use all the characters to make something interesting.

the only thing I found missing from that area for it and kept expecting to hear was the theme to "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" Western... everyone should know that theme

At least now people won't get offended from seeing the word "Tribal Quest" since it has been changed to "Allied Society Quest".

Oh so Kate is the reason we're getting that kind of stuff and "Florid(a) Man" and other cringeworthy meme references now a days? Great.

They didn't make anything interesting. It's literally just a cheap ripoff of literally any western story. It doesn't even feel like it makes sense or belongs. The entire story could be stolen from some cheap JRPG from the ps2 and

it would be pretty much identical, "high tech" with glowing lasers on it and shitty robot boss at the end and all.

The memes have always been cringeworthy and I like them that way, unironically. It's MMORPG appropriate.

Just gonna leave this picture I found on r/ffxiv here, since it sums up everything quite nicely.

I saw that too right now. xD

The best part for me is that it comes from r/ffxiv and has so many upvotes.
Times really have changed.

This here? A tacky copy of a formula that doesn't and can't apply here, simply because Wuk Lamat has to be there, and someone apparently really thought people would cheer upon seeing her barge in yet again. Whoever is responsible for this doesn't understand the first thing about what made the story and story-gameplay integration up to Endwalker work the way it did.

I have read a comment somewhere that Wuk Lamat's barking in at the last trial should have given us a debuff.

Is this the Battle for Azeroth of FF14? Is Woke Lameass our Sylvanas?

Is this the beginning of the end?

I liked it because

We got to spend time with Erenville and see Estinien, and honestly the section with throwing the dung in the campfire to summon the pterodactyl things was absolutely hilarious. It felt like we were actually stirring up some chaos and... y'know, adventuring, doing unexpected things, actually living in the world and interacting with it.

My main gripe with MSQ, as someone who doesn't have very high storytelling standards, pretty much just boils down to not being allowed to do anything that didn't involve Wuk Lamat, so being liberated from playing babysitter, even if for a little bit, was actually really nice.

It may not give a debuff in game, but it will definitely give me a debuff in real life when I am forced to sit through it tomorrow.

If it's any consolation, the last trial is absolutely amazing in the first half and honestly some of the most fun out of normal mode content I've had in a while. I knew we were gonna be in for a good time when a single non-knockback mechanic killed 5 people, including a tank.
