7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[Mortex]

Y'know what sucks about Tural? The fact that all the good stuff already happened. The original Dawn Servant and his merry band of misfits already went and united the country and made peace (in a laughably easy way for a lot of them) so any chance of interesting conflict based on the location is gone. The only people who don't like us are the Giants and they're a small faction who are already starting to change their minds.

We coulda had Final Fantasy XI Aht Urhgan 2, man. Imagine Tuliyollal being under siege from opposing factions who wanted to see the city state fail? Besieged but in modern hardware! Or, y'know, just SOMETHING different. Sadly not, Wuk and her Father have made all sources of interesting conflict basically disappear and now we have to coddle the infantile Alexandrians instead.

Like Tural in itself had only 2”conflicting” factions, like you said the giants and wuk solves this by saving 1 guy from an animal attack……….. and the other is the literal hometown of the dawnservant that he didn’t fix all his rule time but wuk does this also in less then 3 hours (plus the entire dawnservant test phase was rigged with the spices and that some one has too give up the test too help beat the shadow full power dad). Like I argue we could have had a pretty cool game of thrones kinda back stabbing and self interested plot with all faction, trying to gain a more advantages position from this dawnservant race. Or actual civil war because people deem the old dawnservant unfit too rule or other way better stuff. Like they had civil war in endwalker in garlean but we never really saw or did directly interact with it.

I have a hard time guessing what the idea was. Tural was a near-utopia before we even arrived, it was practically a utopia once Wuk took the throne, and then the Alexandrians invaded, lost, and became a vassal state very quickly. Any seeds of other potential conflicts in existing lore were downscaled or just ignored, so what was the point? Was it just filler to get us to the Azem hourglass?
