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

[TheBlueRogue]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who hates the character and finds the voice 100% annoying. Wuk is the jar jar binks of ff. What the hell was yoshi and the rest thinking?

[Bearskjold]

I hated Wuk also, but I've been enjoying most of the rest of the story. Haven't actually finished everything yet since these dungeons are a nightmare.

[Nyxs]

i'm glad JP loathes this awful character as much as i do

Thank god! Means more likely the feedback will get passed on. I 100% think they dont get most of the english forum feedback or only get parts of of it. Heres hoping for a recast in the future.

Also,Kate needs to stop inserting her ideology into ffxiv. I have heard she boasts about it. I hope they fire her and bring back people who were steering the game in a good way.

Yeah, the story as a whole is ok. The worst offenders are pacing issues. Issues that could have been resolved that the writers put more focus on rest of the cast than Wuk. Better delivery for Zoraal's insecurity, better delivery for Bakuul's desperation. But no. Wuk, Wuk and more Wuk.

"Here comes character development! LOL. J/K. Have more Wuk instead." Again, and again and again and again. The amount of times she interrupted actual meaningful dialogue to bust in like "HEEEEEERE'S WUK!!!" and immediately turn every character in a 10 mile radius into a moron was too damned high.

Also, this. The amount of people claiming anyone talking about this is some sort of -ist, or making up conspiracies is insane. They are literally bragging about doing this, what part of that is a conspiracy?

Yoshi P has kept saying they want to capture Fornite gamers multiple times now. Not surprising that Disneyfication fits into that strategy

"Attention all FFXIV gamers! Wuk Lamat is in GREAT DANGER, and she needs YOUR HELP to wipe out the squads in Solution 9, but to do this... she needs a golden axe and a couple of tacos. To help her, all she needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year."

"But, you gotta be quick, so Wuk Lamat can secure the bag and achieve the epic Victory Royal!"

I had no idea the VA was trans until after I finished the MSQ and had already come to the conclusion that they did a terrible job. Not that it even matters to me, I don't care which person, or AI even, does the voice acting, just so long as they actually do their job well. In the case of Wuk's English VA, they very clearly did a poor job of it.

I'd say that SE should recast and re-record Wuk Lamat's English lines with a better voice actor, but that sadly won't fix the countless issues with the character related to poor writing, which is also glaringly bad.

a change of voice is not going to fix anything. The problem is the character was atrocious before they even started recording voices

[BlueWarden]

"Woah, this final boss and it's music are actually pretty alright."

And then phase two starts, the music changes and Naruto Lamat drops in screaming "SpHeEeEn! LiStEn To MeEeEe!.

They could cast the likes of Jennifer Hale, Tara Song or Grey DeLisle and I doubt even they could save a lot of this writing. Granted, it would at least be far more bearable listening to any one of them but heck, almost the entirety of the early portion of DT isn't even voiced to begin with.

My absolute favorite moment was post credits roll.

I was so beyond relieved to finally be done with the worst story I've played in any game in recent memory (not just XIV).

Our character retires to their inn room and I was SO HAPPY that we were looking at a map of the world. My mind raced as to where we would go next, what we would see . . . leaving behind this land as if it was a bad dream . . .

Then there's a knock at the door.

HEY! IT'S WUK LAMAT. HEY! REMEMBER WUK! REMEMBER HOW YOU CAN NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BE RID OF HER!? WELL HERE SHE IS!

I seriously thought it would have been someone else . . . anyone else but her . . . but there she was.

Honestly if we ended her then and there and just leave it woulda made this story a 20 out of 10 but alas she lives to ruin more stories in the future.
