The patch will be filled with the same non-skippable cutscenes and long stretches of dialogue with Wuk on screen. Just to force people to waste as much time with her on set as possible. Square has to hit those cringe check boxes.

I wonder if Crossroads will see the Scions "divided" further than they were in 7.0. The only division the Scions had was some stayed home while some went sailing, and then a couple of them sided with the guy who would eventually go from rival to partner. If that's all the "division" was supposed to be, then, nice bait-and-switch, SE. I can't wait to see what the next bait-and-switch is gonna be. "Crossroads", maybe? They call it "Crossroads", but the only thing that makes the story feel like "Crossroads" is a casual mention of the word in mid-conversation, in the middle of a scene that 90% of the playerbase is going to insta-skip because of a certain someone.

It's more than likely a reference to Eden Ultimate specifically. "Crossroads" was the name of the quest in which Minfilia relinquished the remainder of her powers as Oracle of Light to Ryne

You guys whine too much about nothing.

I never liked characters like naruto and luffy for it was the side characters that made it great. DT is all about wuk lamat and other characters get no real screentime so it sucks and becomes a very boring story.

The 7.x patches are not finished and are not even finalized yet. They are still maleable and can be changed with enough feedback from the community. That's the purpose of giving feedback on these forums. To get the Dev team and Community team's attention to tell them what players want, and they can make changes to reflect that.
That's how live service games work.

We want better writing and don't want any more of Wuk Lamat taking center stage over Krile, Erenville, and our WoLs, and are willing to unsub if it doesn't improve in 7.1. This thread is to convey that. It's not that complicated.

Theyve mentioned several time during dev talks theyre close to a year in advanced in most development, and more so along with the story. Often the final touches to patch are just localization things. So yeah as much people want to believe they should do a massive Uturn on the story, they really can not. Sure they can write up a new story but implementation is a whole other task. Its why we see changes we ask for so late... it literally takes the years to do it, they only ever prioritize stuff if its breaking the game or they already have a back up planned...

This is not true, there was a dev talk linked above from earlier in the month where Yoshida mentioned the changes they had made and are making to Wuk from 6.55 and 7.0 feedback.
How is that possible if these patches are locked down a year in advance like you and others are saying? If it's impossible to change anything about the patch quests right now and these are locked down a year in advance, how is it that Yoshida can say they are focusing on making Wuk much more confident and showcasing her strength because of the feedback from 7.0?

Sry that we don’t like a bad story and writing in the MMORPG that is famous for a amazing story (and a decent chunk plays it for the story, because let’s be real here there isn’t a lot of content at the moment that is engaging)

I honestly feel like Wuk Lamat is the best thing that happened to this forum, half of the enjoyment over here seems to hate her guts and her voice actor as much as possible.

That being said it's a nothing complaint, Wuk Lamat won't stay after 7.3, so all you haters have to do is wait until then to pick up the game again if you feel like she ruins the experience this much.
