With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[Alchemii]

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...

It is true, that has been confirmed. So there are 3 writers for DT.

Daichi Hiroi who was a Game Content Designer for Heavensward and a Quest Designer for Shadowbringers previously, no other credits to his name.
Megumi Onozuka who's only other credit is Quest Designer for Shadowbringers.
And Finally... Tomohiro Kawasaki who also was a Quest Designer for Shadowbringers, but who's other credits include 3 other "Games", which are a series of Adult Visual Novels where he is credited with writing the script.

If only. The first one in the series was rated T, and the following two are rated M. They look to be Dating Sims.

It's some guy with dozens of forum accounts who posts new bait threads or necroes old bait threads. His forum character is usually a highlander and has crafter and gatherer classes maxed out but only one battle job. I can only guess why someone would want to pay for so many accounts just to not play on them.

He likely does RMT and botting. Paying for extra accounts is pretty normal for RMTers.

I'm trans myself and I think the whole argument of "such and such character MUST be played by someone who's EXACTLY like them in real life" is so stupid.

Especially for Japanese media, where one of their most recognizable, strong male anime heroes is played by a literal grandma

Except when they call it white washing. It goes one way because these people have no principles, only ideology.

"How dare you white wash this character!" They exclaim while purposely changing white characters to another race.
