I can scarcely think of a jRPG protagonist less suited to being the vector of thinly veiled political preaching about the benefits of incrementalism than the WOL considering it’s basically the antithesis of basically every shred of their lore up until this point

They completely missed the “either tell an important story with levity or tell an creative story with humour” memo but regardless everything about this entire quest is just completely tone deaf and seriously reads like “Japanese company doesn’t understand that the entire world doesn’t follow incrementalism nor do they view it as a positive thing so we will make a whole joke about it”
