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

[Shibi]

OK, Wow, I restarted the stary with French audio and

* the words line up poochie to voice
* the VA accent in French is just perfect to my ears

The story is somewhat enjoyable.

I mean, the English is ear gratingly bad and I hope that Eng VA is *never* used again. The JP was ok, but got weeby by spheeeeeeeeen

The French, in terms of voice quality... *chef's kiss*

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

The extreme version of the final trial will be so fun to farm if they have poochie yelling spheeeen every time.

I still can't get over Wuk Lamat having everyone call her Llama Tea. I REALLY REALLY hate that. I don't know, it's just having a person you barely know telling you to call them something that has no meaning to you. It feels so forced, like she forced us to call her by that and it's just so aggravating.

She just goes "call me this" and it's like I've only known her for like a few days or week and now I have to do something that I don't want to. It's so weird in the context of FFXIV, because we don't really do that. Then having everyone change and call her that, even though we barely care about her because we barely know her.

Wuk Lamat making people change in weird ways to adore her and whatever, just feels terrible and makes a lot of everyone else's characterization feel weird and awkward. Makes me worried that more characterization is going to get screwed up because it has to adhere to Wuk. Hopefully with the poll that push more for those 10 characters and ditch Wuk.

You think they got like a tracker in game that knows what options the players picked? cause I know every opportunity that I was given to call her by her family nickname I would never pick it.

[Rolder50]

I visibly cringed when I first heard the Scions using that nickname.

[Volgia]

I really don't understand all the hate honestly, I like the trope of her character and I liked her earnest take on the world, I liked that she didn't give that up even with all the despair and the twistedness of the second arc of the game.

[SummerAnt]

Because we already had a similar scenario with Alphinaud and the Crystal Braves. He also had a certain way of thinking about Eorzea. The difference is that the boy had consequences for his actions. Aloy-cat didn't. It felt so well earned after his development in HW. I just wish Wuk Lamat had that treatment to learn something from.

If only you knew that Wuk could've resolved the entire Dragonsong War—a conflict between men and dragons that raged for hundreds of years—with nothing more than tacos and peace talks. Nidhogg would've called here Llama Tea too.

[Shibi]

Nidhogg would've called here Llama Tea too.

I can hear Nidhogg's voice in my head so clearly...

just before he coughs up a fur-ball.

[Voidmage]

Didn't even make it to the top 10 lmao

She‘s at rank 11.
While she is not far down Wuk Lamat actually fights with minor characters with really few screentime down there.
I mean Honey Bee had like maybe 10 minutes?

I‘m also happy to see Otis and Sphene in the top 10.

But yeah. The Japanese are also annoyed by Wuk Lamat. That’s not just a Western thing.

Otis being below the one-gag Hrothgar in the side-character department is a damn crime though.

I can only assume his JP actor sounded super obnoxious or something.

He he probably so high because that’s the Japanese humor. There is really no deep explanation for that.

[Karkarov]

I think the fact that Bakool Ja Ja is more liked on this poll than Wuk Lamat regardless of how far she is out of the top 10 tells you everything you need to know.
