#WukLamatMustDie

[Barachim]

Dys an sohm in
rohs an kyn ala na
mah Morn Wuk Lamat
sahl djahs afah an!

But honestly I wouldn't mind if Wuk appears as often as Hoary Boulder does.

I'd rather just get more Hoary Boulder.

[Karkarov]

I mean I don't know I would start a thread with a title like this one but uh... Yeah, I never want to see Wuk Lamat ever again. I would certainly rather see Hoary Boulder show up, or even another dumb Wuk Evu moment (please no), than ever see Wuk Lamat. A new Gerugeru (or however you spell that potat capitalist scums name) questline getting shoehorned in would be more welcome. If we can write her out and never deal with her ever again for any reason I can just chalk it up to a crappy experiment that failed and knowing she is alive somewhere is just no concern of mine. I do extend my condolences to Tuliolal however.

I don't really care how I just don't want to see her again haha

Its literally Wuk's story, she hired us to help HER. god forbid you people cant not have the spotlight for less than a second. we got our beach episode with some bombastic fun at the half waypoint, its what Yoshi P said in many interviews after DT was announced. this is not the start of a new large story arc, nor was it meant to have SUPER high stakes. if Wuk never approached us i bet we'd not go to tural until later on by ourselves. we have ties and story beats to hit in other areas like the southern massive continent of miracidia.

I mean, death is extreme...but yeah I really felt the obnoxiousness kicking in at the second half of the story.

Its almost like FFXIV has, traditionally, had the Warrior of Light as its protagonist. And just like in other FFs, we tend to have a group of people around the main character who act as our "party". In XIVs case thats the Scions.

Wuk Lamat suddenly becoming the "Protagonist" and sole focus of an entire expansion might rub some people the wrong way.


Also, I've recently heard that Yoshi-P only said the "Beach episode" bit as a joke. But I personally can't confirm that. And even if he didn't mean it as a joke, we literally don't do anything vacation like during the entire expansion. We have things to do from the second we land in Tulliyollal.

I wish what would have happened is that all those people planted throughout the city that told me "I love Wuk Lamat and soon everyone will, including you!" were actually Sphene plants, designed to get a weak and pointless ruler on the throne. Wuk is then poisoned by tacos she didn't make correctly, and in an attempt to be cured she takes a hot air balloon that ends up crashing, giving her intense motion sickness as she plummets downward into a black hole until she is never seen or heard from again. Then the Smile themesong plays.

I wonder how people like you still try to hold on to this as an excuse after seeing the reception to Arcadion? The raid story is pretty light comparing to all previous raid. It's a low skate store and the fights are even a bit goffy. Yet the players base welcomed it, that does that tell you? It means players have no problem with a light heart story, if anything Arcadion vibe with what DT claimed to be, far more than the MSq itself did. And the heck is the 2nd half were if not a super high stakes? Yet it still sucked


The problem is never with the kind of story the MSq had, the problem is it sucks at whatever story it's trying to tell. If this team of writers were handed the writing of EndWalker, I seriously doubt they would be capable make something as good as the old team did.

I'd say stopping Sphene from consuming the souls of all people from all shards to power her virtual society is pretty high stakes.

I don't know about you but some levity is nice this time around.

Im just going to gloss over you being incredibly rude and just point out this one part of your post.

Did you even play the expansion? The first halfs running jokes were: Wuk Lamat cant do boats or airships and dislikes Alpacas. And Wuk Evus entire character. Oh and the Pelu like to trade. Thats it. Don't forget the decades of Eugenics and dead babies the Mamool dealt with. The second half has to deal with people using the souls of others to keep themselves alive, the moral ramifications of that. Sphene trying to steal the souls of all the shards and the source. What it means to truly be alive, and Zoraal Jas attempted conquering of Etheirys. Outside of some "levity" in Shaaloani, the themes that we deal with in the later half are definitely not bringing "levity" to the story.


Oh and forgive me for expecting the main character of the game to continue being the main character of the game. How foolish of me.
