Where is the gameplay?

[Alice_Rivers]

"Where is the gameplay" is something I asked myself several times during the DT MSQ. It's 40 hours of "talk to Wuk Lamat and watch a cutscene". The game used to have better MS quests with more stuff to do other than "talk talk talk", and most of the "talk" quests are pointless and the only thing said is "oh great everybody is here, lets talk about the topic.....but better let's go to another place firts". I guess the Visual Novel players got what they wanted? A MSQ with 0 gameplay. They cry rivers of salt every time the team incorporates some gameplay feature into MSQ. I remember the rivers of cries with Thancread solo duty and the absolute sea of tears of the From The Cold quest in Endwalker, for me one of the absolute BEST QUESTS of the game. But when Visual Novel players have to press more than the glamour buttons they come here to cry about how hard the game is and the game forces them to play in order to keep playing. SAD.

Honestly this is a mix of sad and insulting to visual novels. Even the worst visual novels I've read are more engaging than 'Wuk Lamat Worship Simulator 2024', they actually have interesting things, coherent plots and multiple characters that aren't cardboard cutouts. I honestly hope whoever wrote this 'story' and whoever signed off on it are never allowed near story writing again.
