Unlike anything before where? Have these folks literally never picked up a book? Do they think that FFXIV is the only media content that folks have ever consumed? Or is this a symptom of younger folks thinking that they've invented everything?

I just don't even know how to interpret that statement. They are truly in a bubble there if they think anything about Wuk Lamat was groundbreaking.

Y'all at SE wanted her to be a universally liked character? Take her out of the spotlight, the WoL passes on wisdom as we quest together, teaches her to lead based on how we've guided the three nations to coexist with the beast tribes on our continent. Write fewer, but more impactful lines for her, and for the love of all things holy, craft an actual identity for her and get an actress that can more naturally nail the accent you want the character to have. There are hundreds of thousands of actresses from all parts of the world, including ones close to the dialect you were going for.

Yoshi-P needs to stop dismissing Americans as "noise" and maybe start consulting with folks who make blockbuster movies in Hollywood, since SE seems so hell bent on making movies instead of games.
