#WukLamatMustDie

[Aurumis]

People hate Wuk in ALL languages, English is just the worse. French voice was fine, and the Japanese and German voices did very well I thought. But no amount of good voice acting is going to make a shit story suddenly great, it just makes it more tolerable to sit through and digest.




Most "typical" JRPG characters would not suggest a village of starving people who are rebuilding and mourning their dead after a devastating storm to throw a fucking festival and be happy, have EVERYONE around her agree that that is a great idea, and then have that festival be the PERFECT ANSWER TO ALL THEIR PROBLEMS. "BuT iT wAs ReDuCeD tO hOlLoW tHeAtEr!!!" Yeah, and whose fault is that? Wuk Evu and the Hanu elder, who KNEW WHAT IHIH'HANA DID THE WHOLE TIME but just decided to keep quiet about it all and just not teach the newer Kozama'uka why it was important to take the festival seriously. But hey, Wuk came up with is so she is a GENIUS right?

And who could've known that all you had to do to end Mamook's centuries long eugenics problem overnight was to just offer them the hand of friendship and some different seeds to plant something besides bananas? Apparently not Gulool Ja Ja! He must've been a fucking IDIOT to not come up with the insanely simple answer to Mamook's issues like Wuk was able to do! Who knew it was just THAT simple?

Also, our character MENTORING her? I genuinely wouldn't have cared if we were a background mentor character, but there was NOTHING there to mentor: Wuk was written to be perfect from the very beginning. If anyone was mentored, it was Koana by Thancred and Urianger, and he was rewarded for it by essentially quitting at the finish line and bending the knee to Wuk and going "You're the only one worth leading our nation" like every other person she has encountered has.

Wuk is a One-dimensional Black Hole Sue of a character that warped everyone and everything around her in order to accommodate her and her alone, and Dawntrail is the writers' fanfiction of said character that got the green light.

Couldn't be said better. Here have your crown.

Wuk isn’t a bad character in the same sense that Spot from such thrilling works as See Spot Run isn’t a bad character: you can’t be a bad character if you have no character at all.
The problem is that Hiroi tries to insist through his writing that she is a character, with actual characterization beyond simply being a paper-thin mouthpiece for whatever moralization he wanted to put to pen that day. Despite him insisting these things, they fail to be true.
Also, seeing someone say Wuk took a backseat in the second arc of the expansion was truly one of the baitposts of all time. Quality stuff, that. You’re not getting a quote from me, but know that I recognize the effort.

Jesus, they're starting to do a reference sheet for their god damn theses, now.

I just don't understand spending that amount of energy to say you hate something as insignificant as a video game. I know that we live in a time of overstimulation that people actively seek out and do things they hate just so they feel something, but hells.

Imagine that instead of feeling all that wrath and anger, to the point that you actually write a god damn disotation, that you just... walk away?

Yes yes. I hear the excuses. But my friends! If they're really your friends, they wouldnt want you to be miserable. They'd still chat with you on Discord, and play other games with you. If they don't, well... I'd have to say they they weren't really friends, bud. Maybe co-workers

Or But my house! There are many games that allow to own a fake home, with far greater control over them Most even have a one time fee as opposed to a monthly fee. If it's truly what's keeping here, then you aren't nearly miserable enough to warrant writing *gestures at OP* this.

Crap like this why the official forums are a joke. A meme. The friggin shadowed lands in the Lion King to the community at large.

People have invested real money on this game, not to mention hundreds if not thousands of hours into it. Of course they're going to be passionate about it. I don't know why it's so difficult for people like you to grasp that.

She should just get the Lyse treatment. She’s had her time in the MSQ, now it’s time for the other characters to shine.

Seems like a pretty easy solution to me.
Lyse was equally as uninteresting during the Stormblood MSQ so we put her in a leadership position and forgot about her going forward, just need to do the same again.

Agreed there was way to much Voke Lamat in the story, the line where she screams SPHEEEEEEENE!!! still haunts me to this day...
