Something about dawntrail thats been annoying me since it launched

They promised big fat tacos in the Weapons' theme and never delivered, I say we were owed plenty now.

For some reason all I can think of now is that one Endwalker thread where a guy said Venat is the equivalent of a Happy Meal.

I find myself wondering some things...
Is Wuk Lamat a taco ?
Is Zero a bowl of curry ? Perhaps they give off more of an apple vibe ?

Ugh, that typical anime trope where characters are obsessed with food and have those exaggerated reactions—it’s always annoyed me.

I'm pretty sure the only media the writers have engaged in is shonen - anime. So you probably get why their writing is tropey and childish.
INcluding the food reactions

Man those tacos are lower res than the crystal grapes but unlike the grapes peps are not happy enough to over look it xD

Zero feels like a green apple starts out sour but the more you eat the more you like.

I'm originally from the NYC area. Whenever people I know are making a trip to NYC, they always ask me one thing: "Where is the best pizza?"

I'm not saying NYC pizza is the best. That's not the point. But, it is like the tourist thing to do. What is NYC known for? Pizza! (I guess?) Why not the same in the DT areas? Maybe in the FFXIV universe, Tuliyollal is known for tacos. So, naturally these tourists from other parts of Eorzea are going to gorge on tacos.

Seems reasonable enough to me.

It doesn't really matter. All they eat in the Pokemon anime is onigiri. No one cares.

The "respecting cultures and making them authentic" is just a P.R line.

Fantasy cultures should have nothing to do with the cultures in real life anyway. It's quirky real life references, not a 1 for 1 copy.

BUT even then, its kinda hilarious how the role quest tribes are far more interesting as concepts than the tribes we actually get. They seemed like glass display cultures, than actual living breathing characters.
