DT's Writing: What Could've Been Better

[Hallarem]

Ketenramm was a confusing addition aside for being a "memberberry" for people who read the lore. More evidence of the current writers not bothering to read the old story.

"Toss ideas on the wall and see what sticks" is about experimenting with things that are passable, Yoshi-P. Not tossing literal feces in a wall and hoping they form a painting of a flowervase. Also where the hell are the Whalaqee aside from that one guy in the fishing quest? Werent they the ones supposed to live in the area rich in Ceruleum? Not fantasy texas and the rubber bullet rangers?

The Whalaqee and other tribes based on native North Americans were supposed to be in Ceruleum-rich areas where they were being exploited by Ul'dahn oil barons, but that was seemingly either discarded or is in another part of Xak Tural that may or may not have been more or less eaten by the 9th. I lean towards the former considering the stuff surrounding the northern tribes was labeled as "problematic" as far back as 3.4 and the signs of their culture that we'd gotten are missing.
