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

[Dikatis]

Yes it sounds like a white person trying to sound hispanic

My uncle is the darkest skinned Puerto Rican imaginable and his accent sounds like hers.

[LyrisAdamanteia]

She... didn't though? It was the Queen Eternal breaking down the Meso Terminal's inner space through her reckless use of Absolute Authority.

I never understood why people hated her accent. It's modeled after a Puerto Rican accent and she sounds like my Puerto Rican uncle.

No point in trying to reason with someone who was clearly asleep during that sequence. Wuk Lamat bad, dont'cha know? Funnily Sena is Puerto Rican herself and she also sounds a lot like my own tias (wepa gente!).

[MayuAmakura]

She wouldn't even be so annoying if she wasn't represented by the fact that she has to be strong, she will be the queen, she knows everything. Plus seeing at the credits that Square Enix worked with DEI and Baby inc. then they hid this lmao. It's such an obvious pattern. Then you get quests like this;

- Speak to Wuk Lamat at the entrance to the Skydeep Cenote.
- Speak to Wuk Lamat.
- Speak to Wuk Lamat at the Gate of Remembrance.
- Speak to Wuk Lamat again.
- Speak to Wuk Lamat yet again.
- Speak to Wuk Lamat once more.

if this is a fun gameplay, then people have low standards. Even my friend who used to enjoy this game, found DT to be extremely boring so he just skipped all cutscenes.

While the MSQ does indeed put me to sleep I do find that its hard to stay sleeping when Wuk Talks due to how grating it is. Plus its pretty racist that a white person is voicing a character that is clearly meant to be hispanic.

She’s Puerto Rican.

South-America / Latin America and Mainland Spain don't exist in Hydaelyn. Donald Duck might if they pull out the disney card and keyblades

Last I checked Hrotgars arent running around the real world and Tural is not an actual continent in the real world either

[CapaxInfiniti]

At the border, send her back with a no return order.

[LyrisAdamanteia]

She’s Puerto Rican.

Don'tcha know? Us latin folk can only be ambiguously brown, not like we were colonized by Spain a European nation after all, no ma'am. All latin folks are mestizo, no exceptions, no black, no white just brown. Either way its not like these folks care, they're here to spread an agenda.

[Burmecia]

339 pages of complaints about the character that I'm 100% sure has NOTHING to do with her English VA, right? Because I can happily critique questionable VA work, but a 300+ page thread seems kinda... excessive?

No, I think the original speeeeen is well worth 300 pages of criticism.
Rerecording doesn't delete her subpart ability to play the role.

Sweet Baby's influence is all over DT if you go looking. It's completely acceptable to have a consultant team to help with a project, especially in the case of having so much of South and Latin American ancient culture be portrayed. That's uncommon in JRPGs and having a few genuine experts could be awesome.

But it feels *bad* knowing the the Turali sections were sunshine and rainbows with every issue being resolved with relative ease, the main character being girl-boss esque type, and the story taking a hard left to battling a colonizing force with Western fantasy influences the moment said underappreciated culture got dirty. It's too easy to point to all of that and claim it's "woke." And God, poor Sena, but yes, she's a trans woman from PR. Anti-Wokes LOVE that. Even if we have legitimate criticism.

But it's also easy to point to other common young shonen writing tropes and see how those ideas also held DT back in certain aspects. (The big damn perfect hero coming clutch every time, befriending most rivals to allies, fear of hurting fan favorites, no conflict among friends, even multiple instances of obsessed underlings to villains. That happened twice!)
