Wuk Lamat is the real villain of Final Fantasy 14. She poisoned my potion supply, stole my story moment, burned my raid food, made Lyse look like a Disney sidekick in being a blackhole mary sue attention hog, and delivered the black rose plague upon our FC houses. Grynewaht would’ve unironically been a better lead character than how she turned out. Zenos committed atrocity after atrocity to have a WrestleMania rematch with us, Emet-Selch wanted to erase what he believed was our Kmart-grade existence, and Meteion was the embodiment of every doomer meme. Wuk Lamat is the only one who has made people fall out of love with FFXIV with her character writing and the expansion's writing.

In absolute seriousness though it’s a legitimate tragedy to see the result of this decline from the end of Endwalker. To see a lot of people drift away from the title if not completely lose faith in it after Dawntrail failed to live up to what was promised to await us. It’s one thing to hate something in its totality and in sincerity, but it’s another thing to watch yourself and others fall out of love with something that you’ve treasured and cherished close to your heart, and that is what Dawntrail unfortunately was for FFXIV. And Dawntrail IS Wuk Lamat.
