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

Thought that was a patch moment? In 2.0 itself, he was just annoying, but not in a way that made you sure it was going to go anywhere and get addressed. In the patches, when he gets more arrogant, but the other characters are also showing awareness of it during and in between quests, then you know its going somewhere and its a clear set of flaws that are being addressed.

The difference between Alphinaud and Wuk Lamat is that Alphinaud doesn't go through any significant character arc during ARR until the very end, and the game doesn't pretend otherwise. He is just that smug arrogant holier-than-thou brat throughout ARR until he gets humbled severely and made to eat dirt. He doesn't hog screentime in any sense of the word, and we get plenty of time without Alphinaud tagging along.

Meanwhile Wuk Lamat is actively going through her character arc during 7.0 which is the focus of the entire story, and the game is actively pushing you to see her supposed growth all the way to the end. Her story is done, and it was a terrible story. Or are you suggesting we need several more patches of the writers trying desperately to redeem this joke of a character by forcing more storylines onto her and making her the focus once more? Give me a break, even you don't believe that's the way to go.

The intriguing storylines and narrative beats that existed since 6.55 didn't bear any fruit, and there is no intrigue left in Wuk Lamat. The only thing they could muster up now is if she wants to connect with her biological father, which would honestly just be more '' family this family that '' bs which there is plenty of already in DT.
