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

[Rolder50]

Wuk Lamat is a good character with good char development and really made me enjoy this expansion story more. People need to chill about not being the MC all the time, it's been 10 years of that, can't we enjoy something different for once ?

Also, what's cringe about her really ? She is a bit naive at first, but then grow to be much more mature and everything, how is that so bad ? Nitpicking at it's finest, people that cringe for that, oof, touch some grass really.

I'm mostly annoyed at how the game CONSTANTLY tries to force her into every single situation, even ones where it makes no sense. Like exploring the second city. It would make far too much sense to go with Krile or similar, no, gotta go around with Wuk Lamat so she can go on and on about peace and happiness for the 20th time

Why would I want to play a game where I'm not the main character?

It's moments like this that makes me realise why FF12 isn't more popular in the west lol.

It isn't? I really like XII myself, and I actually thought it gave me a more interesting form of control over what every member of my party was doing than previous titles.

I will be honest; I was enjoying her goofiness at the beginning. (To be fair, I'm a fan of the sillier parts of XIV *and* yellow quests anyway)

But then it kept going. And it kept going. And then she started repeating herself, over and over.

And then we were level 95 it was still not done.

And when you have the perfect excuse to leave her behind and explore with Krile and Erenville... Nope, she still comes along.

And then you try to have a hype final battle in the last trial and she literally butts in because she *has* to be there for that too.

?
You can control literally anyone in XII. Including the real main character. That's not an absent feature in it.

This seems very much to be a case of Wuk Lamat being the writer's baby. It's just assumed you love her from the start and want to help, there is no other option, nothing other than complete trust and support for this new character.
I doubt SE, CBU3, or the writer thought people would find her annoying, cringe, or otherwise not completely fall in love with her from the start.

To me that's the most annoying part, there's no room to warm up to her, she's just shoved down your throat. "Oh we need to split up? I'll go with the WoL!"
It feels like she is in the spotlight the entire expansion and you're just background dressing forced to support her whether you want to or not, while youre character has the biggest grin on their face.

While you may not want to, your WoL wants nothing more than to help out the writer's little mary sue baby at any cost.

Yeah I think this is a big part of it, I never warmed to her and the story immediately assumes the viewer likes her and starts forcing her and no thought was given to taking the time to shore her up it just went harder which was jsut frustrating to sit through

I did really like Wuk Lamat coming in to Dawntrail. Even liking her from 6.55 is not a robust enough protection against growing increasingly annoyed with her place in (or should I say on top of) the narrative.

I would love to enjoy something different, but the writers forced me to listen to one singular mediocre character for 30 hours without giving me a chance to learn more about others.

I admit, i haven't purchased Dawntrail yet but it sounds to me like XIV's found it's Jar Jar binks.
