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

Zone culture good as long as "culture" is really stupid, surface level stuff like "tacos" and "we like alpacas"!

You know, when the game was down and they entertained us with the fake tourism site in the meantime, I had fun with that and joked about how tacos and alpacas are the main promised features so far. Back then, I thought it was a joke and we'd obviously get more depth and go in a wholly different direction by level 83 or so. When the game hit, out of the first two zones, I did the alpaca zone first because haha alpacas, let's continue the joke, and alpacas are cute. I thought, OK it won't be the immediate banger zones of early Shadowbringers with everything so wonderfully disconcertingly wrong with them and the striking locales, but maybe something more like Endwalker's early Thavnair, where it's a bit quaint and colourful and you have the nice elephant people, but also the obvious signs of despair and future plots to come.
But the depth never came, and the joke never stopped. It was alpacas all the way down.
