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

[KurenXIV]

Finally reached Solution 9 and while I really disliked the general story before (and Wuk Lamat by proxy) . . . I absolutely cannot stand her now (though the story has gotten moderately more interesting).

When we're asked if she can explore with us in Solution 9 I was praying for a choice with a snarky option but we just nod with a smile . . .

I know SE isn't keen on killing off characters any more but I would be filled with such joy if she was removed from the game now and forever more.

This threads title is spot on, she really does ruin an already awful story.

The way they paint her as some sort of genius tactician for pointing out the most obvious stuff in the second half too is just disgustingly stupid. Meanwhile everyone else around her acts like idiots as if we didn't spend the better part of a decade adventuring together and have IMMENSLEY more life experience than someone who, to their own admission, BARELY KNOWS HER OWN PEOPLE AS SHE NEVER REALLY WONDERED OUTSIDE THE MAIN CITY.

If they ended the MSQ for 7.0 with "and it was all just a nightmare" I wouldn't even be mad.

This time around the last boss didn't really need that last part, along with a "sad" send-off.

Zenos wanted happiness, Emet wanted to test us, Meteion needed her clinically depressed sisters wiped out. Sphene had sworn to kill us all and erased her compassion in that pursuit.

The final trial is such an emotional rollercoaster for all the wrong reasons.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?! Oh thank god the boss just one shot her... WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!"

I gave up. I can't go on. It's just sapped all the joy from the game. My character logged out in western town, and that's it for me.

I think I'll just call her Woke Lameass and move on.

How to kill a very successful franchise in 1 character.

The fact that it's really obvious for everyone what scenes she had a hand is very telling about the rest of the story. It's like taking a breath of fresh air whenever they come up and it feels like I'm actually playing one of my favorite games, FFXIV, again. She is very much missed, I hope they figure out how to bring back the same magic she brings to rest of the story. ;_;

Also I just realized Wuk Lamat is just this meme and sums up why I dislike her:



People will be like "I am literally going to kill you and everyone you care about" and she's like "let's get to know each other and have a debate about that" ughhh

Agreed on all counts; Ishikawa wrote actual art on occasion, and I miss that.

I love that meme, and it's funny, in RPGs with a lot of options, I often play as close to that meme as can be, it's fun to me, let's talk out everything, let me recruit everyone. I set up my WOL as that kind of character, too, in principle. He accepted Zenos's friendship proposal at the end of Stormblood, he expects to give Amon the 50th chance when they meet again, he's that kind. And yet, this expansion was too much, too unearned, too naive espcially with Sphene - and the thing was that we didn't even have the say in it, we didn't get to be the centrist liberal debating the enemies, we didn't build a questionable personal connection with the world-destroying AI, Wuk Lamat did, and with that I was unengaged anyway.

Just gonna leave this picture I found on r/ffxiv here, since it sums up everything quite nicely.
