That's why the saying "the road to hell is often paved with good intention" exists.

Imagine if there is a young actor, maybe with some talents and a couple of small success. Then suddenly out of nowhere, for one reason or another they are given the main role - in one of the biggest play of the year - on one of the biggest stage of Broadway ... It was never the question of what was the reason they got the role, there were only one possible outcome. Whoever behind that decision, they didn't give the actor an opportunity, they didn't help the actor. They were basically throw the sheep out to be slaughtered ... and I don't think anyone can even blame the wolves.

It's the same thing here. For almost a decade FF14 is one of the best English voiced game on the market, and the vocals have always been one of its strongest point. Giving the main role to a relatively in-experience VA is like ... putting a young singer in the middle of a Taylor Swift's show and hope they will match or even outperform Swift ... the hell they think gonna happen? Action has consequence.

And when it rains, it pours. Couple with the facts that this is one of the weakest story in the franchise, and the character turned out to be probably the least popular character who also given a ridiculous amount of screen time and exposure ... and you just had a perfect storm where anything that could go wrong ... went wrong.

I wonder whoever decided to cast Sena into the role of WL had any idea how badly written the character was ... and whether their decision would change had they known?
