With Apologies to Sena Bryer

Remember, not even the good japanese and german voice actors could salvage Wuk.

As someone who ran with the JP dubs, Wuk was annoying, but I could stomach her to a degree.

Watching the playthrough of the MSQ my friend was doing who has the EN dubs... the combo dealt me a critical hit.

It goes without saying that, no matter what your stances are on the VA's performance, the character they played or the story you played, nothing justifies actually attacking the human behind it all. Such actions are beyond vile and can only be considered condemnable. Though I highly doubt people in this forum would stoop so low.

Sadly, the people that think otherwise often feel justified in what they do, so its incredibly hard to get through to them (if they even read the opinions of others regarding that matter.)

I miss the days when folks would just walk away - problem is that both groups tend to take turns hitting each other and so it just runs wild. In the age of digital engagement people seem to forget that the proto-internet was the wild west where anonimity brought out VERY harsh reactions from people and you really needed to be durable if you were going to wade into the discussion. People engaging in political discourse in the current enviroment need to be careful as well especially if you are holding onto status.

All that to say the FF XIV community thrives on social media drama; just go to the police and stop engaging the garbage imo.

I think the issue is the fact that the 'story-first MMO' somehow managed to bungle the story--you don't see this kind of stink being stunk in WoW, for example. And they not only bungled the story, but stapled our character to a new face that many have deemed insufferable for a variety of reasons.

I agree that people should play games that they enjoy, but 'if you don't like it find something else' has always been a toxic and unhelpful rebuttal to criticism.

I am trying to verify but I heard a rumor that most the DT MSQ writing was by the team that did the Beast tribes quests prior - if so then the feeling of everything being super compartmentalized and inconsequential makes a lot more sense. I don't "hate" Wuk Lamat but I am exhausted by her being far too focused in the MSQ while at the same time the moment any potential character development might happen; we simply rapidly change to some other arc. We never really explore her relationships with anyone other then Koana despite constrantly engaging the other competitors; and the fact that Bakool is the outsider they wrote him as unreachable for any introspection until the end...and then we immediately shift away from him.

SPOILER

Personally? I would have changed the 2nd beat of DT. I would have had Zoraal and Bakool and Wuk go to investigate Heritage found. During that time we would learn about Zakools issues and see Bakool become more understanding and less a dick; culimating with Zoraal betraying us at Everkeep and Bakool saving our lives and being badly injured/killed as his redemption arc. Instead Zakool who seems controlled and smart throws a childish tantrum that gets him disqualified and then steals the mcguffin and Bakool suddenly learns that not being a dick is a good idea. All because of the far too heavy handed focus on Wuk Lamat which puts her issues with her writing on open display until she quite literally breaks the 4th wall in the last trial...

Kind of adorable of them to assume anyone here is a feminist, though.
