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

[LittleArrow]

I was trying to give my husband bullet points so he could skip the absolute mess of a story that is the MSQ, and I couldn't do it. I ended up giving him a full Youtube breakdown video everytime I tried to summarize something. Is that more of me problem? Probably. Did the horrible writing full of plot holes, inconsistencies, and pray return to the wuk lamat help? Absolutely not. Please, please let the patch story have nothing to do with her and focus on Krile explore the mystery around her family that leads into a totally different story instead.

I'm banking on the side quests to completely salvage Tural at this point too, b/c I absolutely hate that region due to the MSQ. From the posts above, it seems there are some really fun and quirky indepth quests in my future that has nothing to do with the spoiled child princess. Any future that is Wuk lamat less, is a bright one imo.

Without spoiling a lot the alchemist/cul one is about a girl mamool ja from the magically inclined side trying to make healthy drinks for the different races' needs because she has pretty low magic skills. Not really high stakes but a good one.

I won't spoil anything major for the Alchemist/Culinarian, but it is very wholesome and does not involve any tacos stopping a several decades long war.

The alc/cul quests are very wholesome and juice lady is precious and to be protected.

Well now I'm curious if there's so much praise. I can dig wholesome.

I think the biggest crime still is the fact that the only reference to the Whalaqee.. our only tie to the New World in Eorzea is relegated to a fishing quest. Unless the field operations / patch msq take place in their homeland.
Gods.. I also forgot how dumb the sudden shift of the Mamool Ja collectively pretending to be dumb in Eorzea was.

Its true, the side quests are sometimes better than the MSQ

Wuk Lamat ruined the MSQ while the VA is bringing ruin on Twitter and simultaneously destroying the PR being heaped on trying to protect Bryer from criticism, systemically destroying the good will that was built between the team and playerbase by once again proving that hiring these individuals that are so full of themselves has done nothing to help the industry on any level. Our WOL was a pretty strong and sturdy individual with a myriad of ways to answer (even though the ellipses answer hardly went anywhere), but DT was the first time we had our tongues cut out and replaced with a strawman's. The entire fiasco surrounding the VA may be small, but it's a blatant red flag on the rest of the change that's going on in the team and in the product.

I think everyone criticizing Sena needs a little perspective is all. They asked the VA to play an incompetent, loudmouthed narcissist that spends all expac failing upwards and using others to her own ends, all while surrounded by a team of fawning sycophants telling her she's the best thing ever, and us, the player/WoL, being dragged along for the ride and shamed whenever we go to criticize her. The casting was perfect when you look at it like that.

As someone mentioned, it's not a high stakes story. But it's a story where we help someone succeed who is trying her best and it just makes you feel good. And like stomping on the faces of everyone who was mean to her in the past.

Well, you can go ahead and close out your account - you've officially won the forums. Not only did you articulate every criticism I have with this character in a way that was as efficient as it was accurate, you did it in a way that made me laugh.

It's a shame I can't like your comment more, the least I can do is make sure it gets quoted! A most memorable post if there ever was one! XD

I found DT msq to be boring and also replayed it on an alt with JP voices and it was a better experience. Guess SE got cheap with the english voices I was sure it was good last expansion.

I was expecting an adventure to find a golden city like el dorado but we only got wuk lamat. Solution 9 would have been better if it wasn't revealed and spoiled before DT was even released. I remember being in awe when a futuristic city was discovered when I first played through ff8.

I wasn't hyped about DT to begin with when it was revealed so having the msq being disappointing just made it worse experience. Mostly looking forward to the ff11 raids its why I even got DT so can be prepped for it. Hope they don't ruin it otherwise it makes me feel like I wasted money and its not a good feeling.

Pack it up guys. We won.

Wuk Lamat-defenders in shambles.

You know, when someone posted that Dawntrail parody of that years long "Lackluster Endwalker story" thread before the expansion's release, I hadn't realized how prophetic it would end up being.

That being said, I didn't mind Wuk Lamat during the first half of the story, and even liked the idea of the first half being more slower paced/lower stakes. Unfortunately my general opinion of the first half and the story in general has soured the more I thought back on it and discussed with friends.
