Wuk Lamat single handedly RUINS the MSQ for Dawntrail. Shes the FF14 equivalent of Jar Jar Binks.
I didn't care for her before Dawntrail. It usually takes other people awhile to get to where I am right off the bat. I wanted NOTHING to do with her being the next leader of her country. We had no say, and we were sold a lie by the Devs that we were going to get a vacation, things were going to settle down, setup new stories for the next 10 years. Outside of a certain item at the VERY end of the expansion and what it implies, everything was babysitting Wuk Lamat while our character became dumb, then a universal threat pops up the 2nd half of the story that we have to deal with(and of course SPHENEEEEEEEEEEEEE). Also, all of the solutions to every problem came so easy for her. She could do the complete opposite of what normal people would do for a crisis, and it shouldn't have worked, except the writers needed the plot to happen, so they BEND the universe so that she's always right and everything she does works out.
Ugh I just can't. I've been playing FF since 1987, FF14 since 2015… This is the WORST FF story I've ever had to go through. It was torture.
Love the dungeons and the raids though. So there is that to keep me invested.
Idk if something’s wrong with me, but I never grew tired or disliked Wuk, I always thought she was adorable
I feel they like to explain stuff to much, use a narrator. Because it feels that the wol is a naive child while we saved the world countless times. Use flashbacks, dialog between the scions idk stop explain every step you take, i can see it for myself!!! We killed gods, we can connect the dots.
I don't know what you're talking about /clenchfist
Wuk Lamat is the character with most voiced time, by many times more than the second most.
Constantly wanting to be the center of attention.. Oh is that why they cast the VA they did?
Wuk Lamat is like every FFXIV player, a fanatic 😂
This expansion's story was so bad for me that I stopped playing video games and started reading fantasy novels…
Another thing that irritates me about the story is how easily forgiven some characters who have done some truly horrendous thing are.
They just go: "I'm good now", and everyone just accepts that. I'm starting to believe that with how the writers are trying to force good outcomes that the story hasn't earned that the only reason Wuk Lmao isn't a Mary Sue is because the story itself is the Mary Sue. It's insufferable.
With the great writing from Shadowbringers and Endwalker still fresh in mind this gives me serious narrative whiplash.
I was more annoyed about the amount of quests where we had to split up to gather info from 3 NPC's or collect items. I swear that was 50% of what we did in the MSQ quests.
Seriously what the fuck was Hirori thinking? Then again this guy wrote Pandaemonium and Werlyt.
Wuk Lamat is paimon
Man she is going to absolutely hate wuk lamat at the end.
Of course Zepla liked Wuk Lamet at some point.
Bro, I knew she was garbage by level 91…
dont even mention how tf she got into the last trial and stole the moment
I hope we don't see her anymore in future patches, I've got tired of her.
chat comment "just try not to focus so much on her lol" like how tf do you expect me to not focus on her when the writing just focuses on her? and even if its the part of story is not even about her, she is still the focus and is always at your back following you? like what?
DEI
If I ever have to speak wuk Lamat again, it’ll be too soon
Not even Zenos had this hover annoyance on him nor was he this clingy and he was OBSESSED with us. Idk if Wuk was scripted to be like thia, but she has a very nasty lack of understanding personal space, boundaries, and reading the room. The last part I can kind of understand because she grew up in a palace and the city that won't say no to her because she literally the princess of their great unifier. But she should have caught on once she understood she knew about her people outside the city.
I just cant bring myself to finish the story, for me its just the whiplash of the writing. Barely anyone gets character development, moments to shine, everyone just nods and agrees. The emotions are just up and down all the time, im trying to get invested but I just cant. I wanted to explore and be on my own (have a vacation) like they said we would but all we get is people handcuffed to our wrists with people I don't care for.
Not listening to any take Zepla has, when she has stated that she thinks Honkai: Star Rail Penacony arc was "Good Writing" lmao. HSR "writing" is pretentious nonsense.
I was very sad how Wuk got treated in Dawntrail. I really liked her in the final patch of Endwalker. Then Dawntrail turned her into a completely different character and went way too far with tropes and her screentime. The final patch of Endwalker was so perfect in terms of pacing. You spend some time with Wuk and Erenville and learn about Tural, then we get an amazing solo duty where we see more of Wuk's character and her having insecurities gets foreshadowed. Dawntrail happens and somehow the story doesn't take her seriously at all and has severe pacing issues.
I am also disappointed that they didn't utilize the scions at all except for maybe the Urianger and Koana campfire scene which was great and the Raha gondola scene. Somehow the writers forgot that Alphinaud would be the perfect candidate to teach Wuk about cultures and leadership after the entire Crystal Braves and Garlemald plotline. Instead the only thing Alphinaud gets is realizing that understanding cultures is important when he already learned that in Endwalker with Garlemald…
It's super frustrating because the expansion has some interesting parts and great characters that deserved more love instead the game wastes its time to tell us that Wuk Lamat loves peace over and over and over and over again… even the parts regarding the cultures were better done in past beast tribe questlines.
I hope whoever cooked the story this expansion never cooks again. I do have to say I am still excited for Meracydia and the other reflections. I am just insanely disappointed with the character writing and pacing of the story. Dawntrail had no reason to be as long as Endwalker.
Is already a bad expansion, make it worse by talking whit wuk lamat every single time Is tiresome .
the fan feedback and critic reviews speaks for itself, its the lowest rated expansion…… Square enix really dropped the ball with the story telling, im enjoying everything else but the msq.
At least you don't have to climb halfway up a tower to speak with her….looking at you Haurchefant.
