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

[Zakuyia]

I can't think of a worse character in the history of Final Fantasy.

So like does that mean Snow can finally step down Wuk takes his place for now.

I didn't like anyone of the XIII cast with the exception of Sazh and Fang, and I still think I'd rather go on travels with that entire cast again, than with Wuk Lamat.

It's completely wild to me they have decided to tie both the writers' and the game designers' hands with the trust system. A system which only purpose is to turn a story driven MMO into a single player game. The priorities of this dev team are so out of whack.

Like would it be so outlandish to just have random NPCs fill in the slots at least? The writer having to come up with forced explanations to drag around characters that have no reason to be there is not doing the game any favors.

And maybe only simplify mechanics to be AI friendly only when you are actually playing with AI?

I've put together some responses we as Wol give, and I'd like your opinion. Do these sound like the advice of a mentor, what many people use as an argument about our role, or do they come off as overly flattering and insincere? Like something a massive simp would say whenever Wuk is around?

I'm curious what everyone thinks.

Lol mentor? No freaking way it feels more like we are Wuk's little pet that worships her and kisses the ground she walks

Yeah it gets annoying there developing the game around trust I wouldn't have minded the trust system if they waited to implement them similar to ff11 at a point where the population of the game is low enough to warrant trust and the game not getting major support anymore.

"Wuk Lamat did all the work. I was just moral support." - Sounds about right for the entirety of the expansion

WoL talking to Wok Lamar:

BY THE CRYSTAL, BY THE CRYSTAL, BY THE CRYSTAL!

IT'S THE DAWN SERVANT!

STANDING 'HERE!' NEXT TO 'ME!'

It's not a stretch to say that there was a noticeable decline in quality in both gameplay and story when they started designing it around trusts, and it disappoints me to see them destroy the MMO experience to cater to solo players. There are plenty of really good single player RPGs, why are we ruining this one for those players?

They just need to have trusts also include some faceless light projections instead of actual characters. We got nameless soldiers, adventurers, and scions in the backported trusts in ARR, HW, and StB. I don't see why they can't do that with future ones as well.
It's getting just a bit too obvious when characters only show up to fill out a role, and they still can't muster enough up to fill the last trial.
