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

[Striker44]

Wow it's almost like it's not a vocal minority in the west that hates Wuk Lamat, but a universal thing.

Wow, it's almost like the same particular demographic that is a minuscule portion of the playerbase but the type that participates in these kinds of things doesn't like a certain type of character *shocked pikachu face*...

In your dreams are we the minority of the playerbase. But keep showing everyone here how little you know young one.

At some point you'll have to start extrapolating these results to the community at large especially as you have no proof whatsoever that this isn't how the community feels, but I'm sure you're just trolling for a response. I have to hand it to you, I've done my fair share of trolling but not even I can muster up the irony to pretend to like Wuk Lamat.

youre projecting. Not everyone actually 99% of people dont like this stuff. Its literally DEI that pushed for the voice actor of Lumat to fill a quota. Its very obvious that universally she isnt liked. Shes a terrible VA and the writing is some of the worst I've saw in gaming.
You can assume "the racist/bigots dont like it because its a trans!!" but that isnt the case. No one cares to be called that anymore, stay on the topic at hand and realize that we can not like something.

Can't blame everything on the poor quality of voice acting done, Wuk Lamat's VA had her moments, but then suddenly dipped horribly. It was very inconsistent.
But I've noticed the lack of quality in the other VA's too, it's like the direction wasn't there either for the English side in DAWNTRAIL.

There's always this thing I notice in a lot of dubs, that Japanese VA's actually ACT while sometimes English VA's just phone in their lines like they are reading from a paper, not being IN THE SCENE, showing us what the characters FEEL.
I feel like a lot of this expansion was that, a lot of the VA's just didn't act, sometimes Krile actually sounded lobotomized. Whether that's because of the schedule, bad recording location / timing or bad direction, I don't know. But I do know this, for the first time since ARR I'm switching to JP voice acting.

Yoshida said that they went with a different studio for the EN dub and at least one Scion VA said that they weren't given context for scenes unlike previously. They very obviously wanted to cut costs, which is probably why almost half the expansion's English dialogue is from a rookie who has primarily had bit parts.

Damn, is there a source for this? Can't imagine a worse thing than not giving your actors context of a scene lol, I think that's rather KEY, don't you think?

Dude, seriously. Turn off Joe Rogan, shut down your Truth Social app, go out into the world and meet some real life people. Maybe even do something wild and read a book now and then. This whole thing just reaks of someone who is chronically online. And frankly we don't care that you don't like being called a racist or a bigot, if you want to spout bigotry ppl are going to call you out on it. Ppl in the LGBTQ community need to work, just because someone gay or trans gets a job doesn't mean its DEI. And frankly Sena was a bad va, but so are a lot of the other va in this and other games. The entirety of Shaaloani, amongst other things in this expac, proved that. I only watched half the expac before I started skipping, but none of the va were really that great this time around. Even ARR had better va.

Except the conversation you are replying to is discussing a popularity poll from the CHINESE version of the game, so this has nothing to do with VAs or DEI or Woke(tm) or whatever the hell y'all go on about. The entire international community didn't like Wuk Lamat, regardless of which language they played in.
