7.1 Wuk PTSD

[Andevom]

Do.. do you not know what PTSD means?

Yes, I also know what hyperbole is.

I kinda had the same reaction on her first appearance (And I'm part of the people blaming the writing rather than the context of the character), especially she again appears out of nowhere when you're fucking eating, but I really don't have any complaints about her use in the patch.

This was actually funny, once the story got underway and it was shown she was getting normal amounts of screen time. But I’ll admit that whole scene I too initially groaned because she really did just happen to happen on us out of nowhere. So I thought it was going to be more of the same, especially how she also appeared at the perfect time to not only find us but to refer that one guy to the support group.

Still weird she just thought in her usual walk around the city meant she’d run into us eventually…I mean it did happen….but you’d think being top dog in charge she’d IDK send a letter to our cabin first. Or does wandering around until who she needs manifest before her how she operates even after becoming Dawn Servant

Is it really "out of nowhere", in context I mean, it's the capital city of the nation she is co-monarch of, she is known to try her best to stay close to her people so her wandering around during her free time makes sense, and WoL sat down to eat at one of her favorite restaurants in town, I just interpreted the scene as "She was going to grab lunch, then go personally meet WoL at their cabin right after, and a minor coincidence saved her time".

you’d think being top dog in charge she’d IDK send a letter to our cabin first.

I don't think that's how Lamaty'l operates tbh, not with someone like WoL whom she outright says she considers to be like family, if you were an unknown envoy from another nation, sure, but WoL means more to her than just taking the cold yet practical route.

They weren't going to just write her out. The Poochie treatment was never going to happen. That being said, aside from the start, she's fairly backseat in this patch. The one time she tries to fix something through her relentless optimism, she's told to eat sand, so there's that.

I waited five months to watch cutscenes with endless chatter about rroneek grazing patterns. These people have completely lost the plot, both literally and figuratively. Meanwhile, none of the aging core systems of the game have been even slightly improved in ten years. Clean house and find a new team.

I did say "oh go away" when Wuk showed up, but overall i liked the msq, i think its flawed but added more info about koana and Zorral jr. Dungeon was really atmospheric and it leaves us with some threads to speculate whrere its going. So ultimately its an improvement on 7.0 story but still isnt too spectacular (which i ddint expect it to be as its a .1 story patch so more set up.

Yeah, I thought the same.
They have always set up main plot points and left them for a while to address some side stuff. Hovever... USUALLY that side stuff was still relevant to the MSQ, or at least highlighted something interesting, not just animal behavior for a "how can we transport someone by train without disturbing the wildlife" subplot in a world where airships exist.

Not this time though. That side plot was a huge waste of screen time. For a couple of side quests this would have been fine. But for the MSQ it was a poor choice. And poorly written too. The execution is just not on par with Endwalker and Shadowbringers. Not even close.

Ngl, I also have ptsd, usually I try to do the story mode first thing to not be spoiled, this time I'm waiting for spoilers so I can know what I need to skip. I'm sick of wuk lamat.

[Aniise]

You can call me childish, over the top, dramatic, whatever you want. Personally, for me, the moment Wuk showed up again during that first peaceful cutscene, I was tired already and done with the MSQ.
For the very first time since I started playing in 2.x, I skipped most of it, so I admit I can't say if they really toned her down or not. And yes, I get that she is a part of the MSQ and will be present at least until 7.3 is finished.
But the fact that she was still in our face from beginning 'till finish, again not giving us even a little break, was enough for me to say...nah. They didn't really listen to any feedback.
I mean, why not give us at least a tiny break? What's so difficult about that? It's not hard to take a character out of a scene or two, I don't get it.

I wanted to give the story another chance, but at the same time I'm at a point where I don't wanna force myself to sit through something that's no fun for me, just to be able to tell others 'Hey guys, I sat through it and watched like a good girl' at the end. I'm not playing the story for anyone but myself and my own amusement, after all.
The devs had enough time to make me engaged in the story, the characters and Tural as a continent during 7.0. They failed to do so. Massively.

I did the 24-man, it was surprisingly fun. Better than the last one by a landslide.
The dungeon was fine too, atmosphere was appropriate and the bosses had a cool design.
Ex remains to be seen, haven't tried it yet but I will sooner or later.

But the MSQ? Nah. That's over and done for me. You like it? Great, I'm happy for you, I really am, and I honestly from the heart wish that was me. But me, personally? I can't stand it or Wuk Lamat at all.
