Extremely disappointed with treatment of Krile in the MSQ

[Carin-Eri]

But even I felt sorry for her in DT. Krile is someone who has been stuck in a perpetual identity crisis about her role in the story, DT was supposed to be when she finally establish one ... and a certain someone just gobble up all the screen time instead.

This.

I mean, the final chapter of Endwalker, the cinematics and the trailers all strongly hinted at Krile receiving attention - I mean, the two Lalafell escaping into the portal in the cinematic were always going to end up being her parents.

But all we really got was a questionably delivered reveal, some exposition, a reveal of her birth name and then "we're only memories". And then they were gone in what should've been a far more tear-jerking moment than it actually was.

Again, I'm not a Wuk Lamat hater - but I do think there were numerous instances where the story desperately needed her to step back; this was one of those instances and the fact that the story couldn't do that was a real pity.

Man, im so mad because i was tanking Sphene in the last trial, then comes Wuk Lamat and..... steals all the protagonism.

I don't even like Krile and I can say she got done dirty.

I don't even like Krile and I agree with OP.

I've been a Krile Hater since Eureka but I was hoping they'd use this chance to do something interesting with her character and give her some much needed development. Instead she just passively exists for the majority of the MSQ, doing and contributing absolutely nothing but filling a Duty Support slot. You could cut her out of the first half of the story or replace her with another character and it wouldn't change anything. She gets no unique dialogue that ties her to the Scions--every time I talked to her, she just said something useless like, "I can handle myself now!" (didn't ask or ever imply otherwise), or "Hm, here's an obvious observation about the plot I'm repeating for you since you talked to me." Even her one important moment to use the Plot Item gets given to another character! It was so ridiculous that at that point I just laughed. Then she gets a really hastily thrown in backstory in the last zone that feels really forced and awkward and still doesn't really change anything, because her birth parents never actually knew her so they can't offer us much about here character besides the lore that she was born on another shard, which, okay, neat, except it still doesn't actually change or impact her character or story to learn that. We already knew she was adopted, this just added that she was adopted from ~another world!~ Ooooh! ...how does that change anything or actually matter to her character again?

I'm sorry Krile fans, y'all deserved better than this and I support your anger.

Haven't seen this one in the forums yet:

Unless she gets more character development and moments / screentime in the patches. It was a straight up lie.

Could've removed a lot of stuff to make way for her.

Dawntrail was half setup to be a story revolving around Krile, an already established character that we know and love that people were asking to see more of. She finally gets a cool new job and comes to help us fight, yay! But instead it's literally just Wuk Lamat: the expansion.

And halfway through the story we learn

that we are investigating Krile's homeland, where she literally came from, where her family is from,

but for some reason 90% of the screentime is still focused on Wuk Lamat??? Why?!

That's my #1 reason I hate Wuk Lamat, because of how much well deserved screentime she took away from Krile. This expansion should have SO much more Krile screentime, it's ridiculous and disappointing that they sidelined her this way.

Edit: Also completely agree with people saying that Erenville should have got more focus, too.

Here is a graph showing dialogue spoken per character in Dawntrail, Krile should not be that far down and Wuk Lamat's lines should be cut by AT LEAST half.

people got nothing better to do than count words to bitch about them? you gotta be kidding me.

Hey if they’d liked the story maybe the energy would have gone into discussing it rather than lamenting the triannual event not being as enjoyable as hoped.
