Singlehandedly ruin Square's reputation

since if he tried to talk louder then he sounds less feminine

That's hilarious, do you have any sauce on this?
Not doubting you or anything, just want to see the drama.

Nah, they were up during KH2.

youtube.com/watch?v=1__Xyx2Mjbs

Square brought on western "culture consultants" to make a safe and non-offensive New World expansion.
The character in the OP is a mary sue who is with you almost 100% of the time. Nearly every quest objective is to talk to her and nearly all of her dialogue is preaching about cultural understanding or eating tacos. The entire story of Dawntrail can be summed up as a guided tour with no stakes and extreme flanderizations of every previously established character who makes a return appearance for the expansion.
For Wuk Lamat (the OP character) specifically, there's also a significant chunk of the NA playerbase who plays with the english dub, and her voice actor is a literal nepo-hire tranny with zero range putting on a hilariously offputting fake female voice alongside actors who appeared in Game of Thrones.

Kingdom hearts is only remembered fondly by people who were too young for the internet at the time and retarded enough to confuse nostalgia for bad media they enjoyed as young children with actual quality.

It wasn't entirely her fault. Sure she was a terrible character, but the writing was piss poor all around.
They clearly rewrote the DT storyline multiple times, until it became disjointed. The story doesn't flow together, they dropped multiple plot points, Krile doesn't get time in the spotlight, and Jotaro Kujo deserved a better villain arc.

Unironic Poochie character voiced by a narcissist APG delivering the worst professional voice acting job in existence.

Luv Spheen

Luv the blue little nigga

Luv the ff9 callbacks

Hate Cat lady

Simple as

it's sad that they so clearly reacted to troons on twitter complaining that XIV's storylines had a white savior complex

The only thing I don't like about Lil Mooj is that he stole Krile's spot when they were going to open the gate to Living Memory. And I'm not a super fan of the dumb plot about him now becoming king. I'll forgive that if I get to keep Sphene though

Has been discussed to death and back. Best thing they should have done with her is write her out as soon as she became Dawnservant. She got everything she ever wanted in the end, her role as her nation's leader should have begun there at the halfway point of the story and she should have stayed in Tulliyolal.

Redditors are exactly the kind of zillenial perpetual children who insist that shit like the dark age sonic games, the star wars prequels, and kingdom hearts were actually good and not just whatever shit happened to be on their plate when they were 8 years old.

So
Dawntrail is basically all of the greentexts about how Lyse is a bad character but true

brown tranny

Nope, just a regular ol' whitoid tranny

wowrefugees just need to move on

we did, to classic

I dropped the game in the middle of 7.0, is Wuk Lamat still the focus of the story?

it’s been nearly a year and I still can’t bear to look at this fucking thing

Yes, it even made people revisit Stormblood through NG+ and realize it wasn't all that bad.

it’s far worse

they've moved away from her, but she's not getting cut out completely

her dad (who she never knew or met even once) was totally latinx tho, she's allowed to claim to be brown and take latinx voice acting roles where she does a bad accent while talking about how much she likes eating tacos

It's not as bad, there was even a quest or two recently where you don't have to talk to her.

I want a game based on the right side of this image.

She's still hanging around, but now SPEEN is back and it's mostly focusing on her.

In 7.1, yes. She even tells a kid she's mourning the wrong way. In 7.2, she's pushed into the background and the focus is on Good Sphene and it's clear the rewrites hit there because half her scenes are about how badly she wants (You) to help her

What’s funny is there’s a new Cornservant quest that gives a new minion (Deathservant) and it reveals the region used to do human sacrifice for crop seasons

Yoship killed 14 for his furry waifu...

She's still around, but in 7.2 it's very obvious that they wrote her out of certain scenes. e.g: She shows up and is pulled away by an NPC. This happens multiple times

VA didn't get rehired which would explain much.

And it’s amazing that people realized “wait a second, Lyse wasn’t forced in every possible situation and she actually resigned from Scions at end of the base story. So that closure was planned from the start”

YoshiP killed 14 because he wants off this fucking ride.

No way anyone who cares about their project would let half the shit in Dawntrail slide through un-checked.

Wow it is pretty bad

No. The story has basically moved onto Sphene and Alexandria as the core focus going forward now.

It just comes to show how hard the main story carried this game. There has been zero innovation since Stormblood and they insist on releasing the exact same shit every few years.

I like how Tural was dropped

stop misgendering him

Didn't take long for the raging homosexuals to come crying

they dropped it long before DT even launched, there was nothing to it other than a weak trial

Oh yeah, Space Bozja is out now. Is it any good?

trailers show a cool low-stakes tropical island treasure hunting adventure

look inside

it isn't

they completely changed writing style when old guard passed to new guard. new guard cant write for shit and woke lamat is the main character

You can skip every line of dialogue she says and the story still makes sense. Best way to cope moving foward

It's Space Ishgardian Restoration.

It's alright.

you can play every job on a single character

they're all boring

Space Bozja

More like Space Firmament. And no it's not good. It's just free leves with craft recipes deliberately set up to fuck with macro users.

Someone linked proof of this from a japanese fan fiction page but I forgot to save the link to read later and the thread was pruned. Anyone here still got it?

old guard passed to new guard

The new head writer has been on the team for awhile. He just sucks.

The DT trailer is pure false advertising, I hate it

answer that isn't coming from a dribbling retard obsessed with woke

too much screen time during 7.0, 7.0 dragged on too long, that's pretty much it, she's still not lightning-tier, all complaints about her are rooted in 7.0 and we're almost a real world year away from that, ziv has had worse characters than her in the past that didn't get anywhere near as much hatred

Man mmo's need to implement a dynamic npc code that always has a certain number of characters wandering around an area so they can actually look populated like this. When a character teleports into the area, just have a npc fade out.

Square Enix taking L after L. When GTA6 sells like mad and has a literal white mega Chad protagonist Square Enix is going to look even dumber. It's like they jumped on tranny signaling at the literal worst time in history to do so. 2024 marked the year to not bow down to ESG/DEI types. Concord set that in stone. Some devs understood that.

still new head, he cant write long form stories and it shows

that cam picture

he

I don't believe it

2025: experienced another life changing event

It blows my mind to this day that the second half of the trailer is literally the ending of Dawntrail
Blame raid trannies for that, they demanded every role be usable for raiding even though you could play literally anything. So Square homogenized the jobs

new character with far too much screen time.
the persistent hate, especially here, is just more culture war drama though.

Did he ever smile in this livestream

All the stuff he did was either boring as fuck or just bad. Still can't believe how the third part of Pandemonium ruined the whole thing

why is it that all of his quests hard sidelines the WoL?

The Problem With Wuk Lamat topic of discussion

look inside

everything is years old or drags in irrelevant real world bullshit

perhaps the shadowbringers migration was a mistake

Dude dresses like one of the liberals nazis make fun of here

Customers complain to a restaurant that their only good food on the entire menu is the cheeseburger

Restaurant changes literally every other food into a cheeseburger

Somehow this is the customers' fault

SE are just retards that don't actually play their game.

Absurdly way too much forced screentime, and its mostly terrible. The very definition of a poochie.
Also has the worst voice acting job an SE character has ever had, and easily one of the worst of all time.

it absolutely was.
the over simplification of game mechanics, and the now wide spread usage of combat addons has killed the entire game for me personally.

shes boring and in your face all the time and every other character suffered for it as well.

Cause he has a background in drama/stageplays (that's his big life experience, his stage studio thing shutting down)
Those faggots write like you are watching a play. Since 'you' in XIV is the WoL, the useless fuck writes everything like we're just sitting there as a spectator.

I thought that thing was an it/they/them/whatever retardation?

i've got some dawntrail raids to sell you if you're le tired of simple game mechanics

wide spread usage of combat addons

pic rel

She's the main character and you get to be her retard wrangler/sidekick

We should hire a manhwa isekai self insert writer to course correct

Raid trannies aren't customers, they are filth that are the minority in the game. No I will not read your reply cause you are obviously one if them.

implying the dumbing down started in shb

it was already happening in sb, at most it accelerated

The entire expansion was dogshit and she was like the third worst part, she's the face everyone attaches to what's bad about the entire expansion when in reality they don't realize they hated all of it except the fights.

It was shallow, stupid, slow and worst of all drags down an interesting world. Wuk herself is those things but add repetitive and a black hole sue ontop of that (Different from a mary sue, she has flaws and is disliked in universe but the black hole sue warps the story around her existance to where those flaws are fixed out of nowhere and is suddenly liked by everyone, she literally bends space to interrupt the final fight and it's never explained how she did that, I'm not joking.)

I don't think it's just wuk, every character in dawntrail is a complete moron. Solution nine as a city can only function as a believable place if everyone is stupid. They use souls like a resource, knows they're finite and don't think about where they come from at all or what that costs?

The entire expansion is completely retarded and pointless, it needs to be deleted.

Yoshi-P already said in a post DT launch interview that they're considering going back to Hingashi and letting the player be a shogun so their mindset is already halfway there

GET G-POSED GET G-POSED GET G-POSED

The next fanfests are gonna be interesting, I wonder if they'll have Ishikawa at the forefront as writer this time to damage control

dubfag seethe continues

letting the player be a shogun

that's insane-o OOC for the warrior of light. i think he was just throwing shit at the wall with that one

I am a casual, the lifeblood of this game.
Once I caught up during 6.2 the game died for me
Weekly timegated raids are boring and hard. Make more casual content and nerf Extremes.

make a tranny self insert character that even other trannies hate

takes up more lines in the lore than expo on literal gods in the setting

half of the expansion is just talking to the shitstain

lmao

expo on literal gods

There are no gods in the setting. Did you think humans were magically gonna have the real true gods in a functionally atheistic setting

Problem is customers also didn't want that, but they listened to the smaller group of whingers for some reason

There are no gods in the setting.

has a literal pantheon

Youtube fandubs put this to shame. How this was ever allowed to be the deliverable is insane. I wouldn't even take this for free.

Current raid design in my opinion is a recognition of "they don't fucking know what they want, so no sense listening to them"

ziv has had worse characters than her in the past

Final Fantasy as an entire series has not had a single worse character than Wuk Lamat. You're an insane furfag and you have to let this go, little buddy.

I don't understand still why they did this. No other expansion has focused on entirely on 1 singular character.

hahaha just walk away nigga

yes. thats what i did.
i dont want to watch the game become wow 2

I am the only reply to this guy that isn't him talking to himself. This Streamable is ancient and it's always the same Streamable.

Stick to the off-topic culture war threads and E33 seethe threads, homestuck.

feels like Sphene had more lines than that

explain how 2+2 is 4

NO, NOT LIKE THAT. THAT PROOF IS OLD. I DEMAND NEW PROOF

"character had X lines" is a really dumb criteria to piss and moan about anyways when the game is also famous for cutscene skippers

fire kate and hiroi

uhh that was posted already so it doesn't count!

Somehow this never extends to your own posts, though.

Final Fantasy as an entire series has not had a single worse character than Wuk Lamat

every quest is to either talk to her or eat tacos

This SOUNDS like a shitpost but it's the honest truth. Wild.

writer

They could probably get away with having Hiroi front up. Japs are too polite to boo him and Ameritards will defend him cause it's obviously the hecking alt right nazis that hate Wuk and the plot!
Only one that might actually boo him is Europe

don't bother anon it's kind of his "thing" to samefag endlessly and push his own brain-mush opinions as thread law

he already got his admin rights hacked so it doesnt really mean shit anyays.

'Obnoxious character had more spoken lines than every other character across 10 years of storytelling and also managed to say nothing of value' is a completely legitimate complaint.
Please go on and try to explain how and why Lightning is poorly written. The way SE pushed her as the main character of the franchise was annoying, but Lightning herself is fine. By the way I know you won't even attempt to explain how she's bad. You're going to deflect to another subject or pick out a random series of words in my post and say youj don't need to justify me with a response.

What is this retarded shit?

its not the amount of lines really, its the ratio. wuk has what, 40% of all spoken lines there? thats quite a bit

the more and more i think about it i realize that dawntrail could have started at its second act (shaaolani) and not only would it have been better paced, you wouldn't lose out on any character building from any character

seriously. just start with the field trip across the bridge with erenville. literally nothing from the first act actually mattered. wuk lamat just needs to be changed to having been the dawnservant the whole time and is hiring you and erenville to keep the peace or something

Please go on and try to explain how and why Lightning is poorly written

That's not Spirits Within

'Obnoxious character had more spoken lines

i skipped them so i don't give a shit and you can't force me to give a shit

They are promising complete reworks of the jobs in 8.0. it's the only copium i have left. I feel like they'll scrap it though to play it safer after Dawntrail's bad reception. Next expac will be safe as fuck

but Lightning herself is fine

holy fuck kill yourself, she was an insufferable piece of shit that dindu nuffin wrong despite fucking literally everything up and no amount of louis vuitton shilling is going to change that.

the promised changes to fight design in 7.2 turned out to be fantastic. i'm optimistic

This retard didn't play the game, and neither did you which is why you're relying on an ancient seethe post to do your talking for you. Lightning is rude, surly, hostile, and is ruining Hope's life for her own cope. That's the point. And then she realizes all this because she can see from a third person perspective that what she's doing to Hope is what she also did to herself and that it's wrong. And she grows from that and becomes a kinder person. What this post is saying is that because she starts the game as a shitty person this somehow makes her poorly written.

homestuck has to pretend to be a cutscene skipper now to defend DT

Looking quite grim for you, little buddy.
Play more than an hour into a video game before you talk about it.

NOOOOO CHARACTERS CAN'T BE MEAN AND BITCHY THAT'S BAD WRITING

Im glad the Lightning sequels all sold worse

So? He asked whats wrong with the expac? The expac isn't new

atleast Wuk Lamat can be used for HMOFA art

Lightning has negative fucking ass and can't even be useful as a cumdump. She deserves the toblerone treatment.

guy who posts archives of his own arguments cries about a screencap of a lightning write-up

You can't make this shit up.

no you can't think a character is shitty because they're written like that on purpose, so that makes it good!

Nigger the game got popular for it's plot. It's what kept people from seeing the other flaws of the game. Cs skippers are a minority. You are fooling nobody troon

Atleast FF is still able to inspire such powerful autism.

funny image but was the anti-semitic part necessary bro

What exactly was wrong with Lightning?

the game got popular when fujoshi and "tired" WoW players found out about emet-selch

I received the Dawntrail artbook the other day and Wuk only gets 2 pages...

Honestly considering other shitty overpushed characters getting shoved down our throats the past decade and a half, Lightning is quaint in comparison.
Least she fucked off and her obnoxious fanbase is puny in comparison to other shit.

le course le correction

I'm into hmofa and I DO NOT Qantas to put my dick in her

No main characters can't be shitty people with character arcs making them a better person

They must be paragons of virtue from the get go with static personalities throughout the entire game

I archive a lolcow's posts so I can call him out on his repetitive writing style. I don't need screencaps of other people's stupid opinions to explain my own opinions.
Uh, yeah? If a character is supposed to be depicted as a hostile bitch and the character is perceived by you as a hostile bitch then they were written correctly. Is the character consistently written? Do they fulfill their role in the story? Then they were written properly. Wuk Lamat can't even get that far. You just think a character who isn't throating your cock is poorly written because you're a pornsick furfag who masturbates to actual real life animals.

is the artbook any good

Imagine playing Skyrim and for every quest in the game, you are forced to repeatedly speak to a Khajit with an ear-bleeding voice who talks about tacos all the time.

SPHEEEEEEEEEEEEN

Why are you here? No one cares about adhd faggots like you

wuk isn't even the cutest femhroth in dawntrail anon

singlehandedly

Not really. It's been dud after dud for SE lately.

read it

argue for a straight year about how awful it was and le game is le dead

don't read it

don't do that

the choice is clear

trannies are on red alert

The metalworking hrothgar is cute but her questline is really bad.

It unironically vindicates all of the Lyse enjoyers by showing an actual example of all of the complaints. There's bigger problems with the story beyond just Wuk Lamat, though.

the resetera dawntroon reveals he's been the one melting down in expedition 33 threads

Today just got a little brighter.

ffxiv sucked and has been in unofficial maintainence mode for a couple years before dawntrail flopped

Another anti-FFXIV thread

One thing is safe, the game isn't gonna grow anymore with the current content plans, it can keep the game afloat but japanese companies look to grow more in revenue every year
You can make a great MSQ again, but that only will lasts a few monts if the content is the same shit, I don't care if the next expansion launch has the next Eureka in 7.1, that just keeps current subs.

ivalice and bozja assistant

LMAO NO WONDER HES SO SHIT

mhigger war crimes bard quest

LLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMAAAAAOOOOOOO

what a shit writer.

He's going to post about how lying to cover up mhigger war crimes was a good thing actually.

there's only one guy on the Internet because it's not possible multiple people could disagree with me

real schizo thought process

is he wrong though?

Oh you're a wowfugee, makes sense why you're retarded

WoW has ever entered your consciousness? fucking WoW fan

next time your mom makes tendies don't give her a fat lip as thanks anon

it's shit

But you didn't read it and are here arguing. So played yourself, subhuman

WUK LAMAT LOOK OUT HES BEHIND YOU!

He is wrong, yeah.

I got banned from the game last year for calling out matchfixers in primal ranked pvp, meaning the company is complicit in it. You're playing a game where the devs are cheating in pvp to get ahead. It's just like tactics advanced where the judges are falsely putting people in prison for ranks. Good thing I'm Marche and they're gonna get pwned.

can't do A rank crafts

sour grapes

He apparently believes he's documenting a lolcow but it looks like the funny part is somebody disagreed with him on the internet. Which isn't actually funny, and probably the weird Kiwis would begin documenting him in turn if he went to the place where everybody documents and laughs at lolcows. So who's to say really

But you are here arguing, there are about 10 retards every single thread like you who are so adamant that they just don't care but can never stop arguing about the topic.

Nigger brings up wow then cries about being called out, can't make this shit up. IQ of a doormat

It's over....

10

i'd be astonished if there were more than 5 people in this thread with more than 2 posts

Gdc tranny shit

Lol

WHO WOULD WIN

human rat that killed his mom and had a cameo appearance in a loathed Devil May Cry adaptation

extremely rich japanese game director that is still directing games

ex-wow refugees telling everyone how much they now hate their wow refugee game

what a surprise
no fotm floppers to jump ship to? gotta sit here crying like a fucking bitch for 2 more years rather than moving the fuck on to better games?

don't forget he fell through the rotted floor of his attic

mind explaining for our non-reddit mods browsing this site?

spammed the same macro for a couple days that's easily found online that everyone else is spamming

realize this is cheap ass dogshit and get mad there's nothing else to do in this dead game

not going back

bitch

I was about to ask how this was relevant, but now I see. literally saying "if you don't make media that reflects our values at all times, you are actively harming the world". jesus christ.

ok hasan

I fucking forgot he was stomping around his attic and fell through and blamed it on a dead animal

Called out so much he wont even reply

Just hang yourself already. Truely pathetic

If asmonsgold is a human rat, Yoshi P is a disgusting rat turd

The human rat makes Yoshi p.`s yearly salary in one video

TWD

Yoshida spends it on rings, Asmon spends it on honestly I don't know what but it's definitely not improving his life in any way.

i don't use macros.

i am that powerful an autist

that was the merger

Geogrify is like two people according to a google search. Nothingburger

had a cameo appearance in a loathed Devil May Cry adaptation

this fag's in the devil may cry anime? as if I needed another reason to avoid it.

There are STILL copers and gaslighters acting like Dawntrail wasn't a huge fucking stinker

Do the weather crafts in cosmic explorarion change randomly or are they the same every two in game hours

You can’t really use them for the higher level crafts and you can’t macro the gathering stuff. Only useful for B and below

Couldn't help yourself, huh? Are you an actual bot?

erenville, koana, krile, erenvilles dumb mom, speen 1.0, calyx are all shit too

they got lucky with speen update 2.0

He's the typical "alt right crazy radio man" the leftoid love putting in their shit. It's a caricature

Yeah Adi Shankar is apparently a huge Asmon fanboy and made sure to ram him into the DMC Netflix adaptation. He's also right about everything in the Netflix show because of course he is

Well yea, only 41% are dead

autism is a super power but however you are imputting the result is the same and the "cosmic exploration" (lol?) is garbage

the rewards are trash too so that doesn't help the brain dead busy work built for two dollars (that has been through multiple fixes because the team is a toilet bowl now) by their skeleton crew

Shankar isn't left-wing in any sense of the word, guy keeps showing up at Trump rallies and supports the extreme Hindu nationalism going on in India these days. He put Asmomgone in because he likes him.

and yet they're still part of 's image, which shows them clearly espousing woke bullshit. even if it's only two people, it's two people explicitly pushing that shit into a game.

Adi Shankar

isn't this the butthurt retard that got Apu killed?

It's two people who were asked about South American stuff and their reach in FFXIV is completely up to speculation

Yes actually.

It's two people who were asked about South American stuff

Make another post about how it's only two people.

There's no way he actually said this. He can't be this stupid.

Just curious, how big is your folder?

their reach doesn't matter, their stance is what matters, and they will preach their stance everywhere and anywhere they can, because their stance calls for it. thus, they should be kept as far away from videogames as possible.

I literally don't believe you, kike

So they're hackers on steroids, is what you're telling me

The DT story being complete ass didn't help

square

reputation

they are the absolute genius that claimed people hate turn based for decades and now everyone else is taking the niche vaccuum while they have flops every new release

What the fuck are you retards going on about? I never heard of these people before and I’m think this is some kind of conspiracy to try to get people to care about them

This is a good idea
But you have to make it run on a base PS4

I just googled Geogrify and it seems like there are only two employees? Seems like a big nothingburger honestly.

Aside from absolutely garbage writing, she, just like her playable race that got added this expansion are literally built like the hulk instead of actually looking even remotely feminine, if that and the english dub troon VA aren't a sign of wokeshit than I genuinely don't know what is.

it appears one retard is failing to realize that wokeness should be shunned at every turn, no matter how "minor".

You actually can't help yourself.

According to google this 'Geogrify' company seems to only have two employees plus they were hired to check the authenticity of plantlife.

Janny how long until you get tired of the folder dumps? It's been 3 years of the folder dump technique. I miss ShB doomposting.

How many tools have you fags made so far? Just two myself, do t see any reason to rush it

FOLDER TRANCE

I finished them all and took a break before starting the gold medal grind.

I got one tool to rank 2 before I realized I hated crafting and stopped

crafting "content"

If only you knew how bad things really were.

youtube.com/watch?v=Kpqp95lItho

The elite wokers known as Geogrify must be stopped

pushing buttons in a specific order

:|

pushing buttons in a specific order, with boss music playing

:O

Apparently they're just a two person cartographer team that was hired to make sure Tural was 'aztec' enough.

Alright we've played it out enough I think

Just have the visible npc limit the same as the player one for the console. That way it can be adjusted fir all platforms. Would naturally not be as good on PS4, but that's the ps4 players problem for not upgrading by now.

Nta but the fact you keep bringing it up is odd

The Ananta have been kind to me

This, stop noticing things, go...guys.

He's also right about everything in the Netflix show because of course he is

Funniest shit really.

If this is accurate, holy shit. Would love to know the behind the scenes story about why writers were pushing such a nothing looking character so hard. I don't even think Sylvanas of World of Warcraft was pushed that hard and she was obnoxious as fuck near the end.

Do they lay eggs?

but does it explain the geogrify kate twelve demystification golbez armor garlemald?

Electrope is a super scarce miracle material that can be used for shit other materials outright can’t do, and “only” appears in areas hit by lightning on the Ninth

in fact it’s so ultra scarce wars were fought over it

Old Alexandria just used it as building materials willy nilly, Modern Alexandria used what must be tens of thousands of tons of the material for literally everything

What a stupid asspull to explain the Ninth falling to lightning.

t. Disconnected66

What do I do with my 7 days of free game time from the Callback event

Almost like something happened to make it less scarce or something

had them all done by tuesday last week, took a break and now I'm working on the GSM title, need it for my BLM

Is this the Trahearne of XIVtrannies?

it's scarce on a planetary scale

alexandria hoarded it all

wtf why does alexandria have so much of it it's not scarce at all

wait until you learn about real world precious metals

yes just like femlalas and femra.

Would love to know the behind the scenes story about why writers were pushing such a nothing looking character so hard.

lmao, cmon man.the history with the writers is nothing new and we knew where things were headed for the past 20 years.

The Lightning Surge made it so they HAD to build Everkeep, meaning they were sitting on top of all this material without having to move far
The fact they try to pretend it’s scarce when Alexandria can make a megacity out of it is absolute bullshit. It’s like if you could only find gold on the surface, then you make los vegas but vertical made entirely out of gold. Like, the everkeep is a megastructure.

I require lovey dovey sex with Sphene.

hoard the entire planet's supply of electrope

go to the place where the entire planet's supply is

wtf it's not scarce

you can't be this stupid i refuse to believe a grown-ass man is this stupid

I want the big robot sphene to crush me with her giant thighs

Sphene is for Not-Zidane, but he doesn't seem to exist on the Ninth anywhere, so I guess I'm gonna have to do it.

It was the first time americans got to choose a voice actor for a character.
They had to find a south american woman and somehow ended up with a man from california.
Also the writing is shit

Sphene is for Not-Zidane

Which is the WoL because canonically he's VPR in DT

she

its a tranny

It makes sense it would be WoL from the otherworlder handsome rogue angle but I would hazard a guess if we ever learn who WoL's Ninth shard is it'd be a Zidane expy I don't actually want them to explore WoL's shards all that much in the future it's pretty obviously always gonna be This Game's Protagonist In XIV Flavor

it's just expressing reality.

the voice actor is a man sure. I was speaking of the character, which is female

Which one?

Anything other than shadowbringers, don't like getting flashbanged when I boot the game up.

ARR, it's the calmest one

Heavensward is peak comfy

Probably shouldn’t reply to the tranny obsessed anon, would be surprised if they don’t have a ton of tranny porn and tranny wojaks to spam

Pretty sure that’s DT

ARR boots the fastest and has the most traditional music

I use Heavensward its dark and comfy

Nah, DT has a slightly more gradual grey hint to it, Shadowbringers is blinding light and bright noise right from the start

i used to play ffxiv on and off, very casually, whenever story content would drop
i refuse to buy dawntrail or play it until wuk lamat is completely removed and the story reworked to not be a dogwhistle for leftist political propaganda pushing bullshit
as i know this will not happen, ill probably end up not playing ffxiv ever again. even if they course correct and future stuff is good, i STILL wont play it because i'd have to put up with going through dawntrail first before getting to it
though they're too cowardly to admit it out of fear of social backlash for not tolerating shit like this, an enormous chunk of former players of ffxiv are in the exact same boat

OOOOOO
LALIHOOOO
OOOOO

A realm reborn. Like these anon said It's calm and it also boots up instantly. You dont have to wait for the animation to end before selecting an option to start.

fire kate and fire hiroi.

the writing has been dogshit
the localization amateurish and bad.

I can't decide if I want to lovingly cuddle with Sphene or fuck her body until she breaks

dropped with 7.1 after getting every ounce of vandeil dopamine out and ain't resubbing till exploratory zone

whats the latest. Are we in the bermuda triangle yet? Is DRG further nerfed? Did the story go back to ascians?

Wait that's even funnier, that person voiced a black tranny in NFS Unbound
It's okay to take "black roles" if you pretend to be a woman I guess

not yet

no

its strongly hinted at that the new antagonist is ascian adjacent or knows of them and has access to their knowledge, if not one himself

he is correct though. trannies get out

ziv has had worse characters than her in the past that didn't get anywhere near as much hatred

While it is true that other minor characters have been written worse this, Wuk is by far the worst major character they have written. The only real competition is Lyse and not only is Wuk still worse, the plot revolves around her even more than Lyse in SB.

The only real competition is Lyse and not only is Wuk still worse, the plot revolves around her even more than Lyse in SB.

disagree on both counts, lyse is flamingly retarded in ways that wuk lamat isn't and the entirety of stormblood is her failed attempt to come into her own as a leader before finally leaving the scions because her relevance to larger goings on was at an end

lyse's sin is the story fails to present a reason why she should be around, wuk lamat's sin is her expansion goes on five times longer than it should

lyse is flamingly retarded in ways that wuk lamat isn't

You're delusional.

and the entirety of stormblood is her failed attempt to come into her own as a leader

Half of Stormblood is about Doma during which Gosetsu is the central character.

delusional

i strongly suspect i'm not talking to the same person anymore because the last post wasn't turning this into some kind of life or death argument

Do you think you're actually good at pretending to be other people?

the little buddy armor motivations...

Lyse's problem is she's boring and does absolutely nothing in her own expansion other than be the Tidus/Vaan of the group and ask dumb questions as an excuse for smarter characters to exposit.

Lyse should've been more impulsive. Remember Yugiri suddenly deciding to kill Zenos when he happened to take a trip over to Doma? That balls deep retard plan should've been Lyse's.

Lyse and Wuk Lamat are both awful but Lyse is hot so that's 1-0

They changed the line read so it isn't as godawful as it was in that streamable.
There is legit new proof.

lyse is fine and she got time off which made here more endearing when she came back in EW.

if only they benched alisaie for 3 expansions.

we corrected the record chud, the past does not exist, today is forever

lyse is hot

Story is a really fucking boring "scavenger hunt" of helping different towns solve an activity (Catch a llama! Hire someone for a job! Help us grow our crops! Cook some food!) and she's there front and center being the main character that all your companions swoon over with their now empty brains. She solves all the problems with no effort and the story is just absolutely juvenile and not remotely adventurous.

who will be the next bosses in the FF11 raid, which area will we get to visit next? Could I have been the knight in FF11 I was always meant to be?

I can theoretically understand thinking that Lyse is worse written than Wuk even if i don't agree but I don't see how you could think that Wuk isn't the character the plot revolves around the most out of any character in any expansion. The one zone we get away from her is actually becomes about finding her lost bracelet or whatever. She jumps in last second to kill steal the final boss because the plot wasn't about her for 10 mins. For even more objective measurement look at the ratios of spoken words of characters in each expansion.

doing a heckin' learn to curious peeps

feed them outdated information on purpose

get pissed people know better

Eald'narche, Kam'lanaut, and Promathia guaranteed. Maybe Ultima and Omega.

Anon Babble-tier brainrot

Online games have the advantage of being able to fix shit that was fucked up in the past.
You may as well whine about Diadem 1.0.

the launch voice line never existed because there's a new one

Resetera...

changes what's even being complained about on a dime

You don't know how to read or something?

In terms of writing and character, Wuk is pretty par for the course. People complaining about their character not being the focus missed the point of Endwalker, and shifting away from that is a welcome change, if only they went further and cut out the other scions as well.
Much of the criticism stems from people trying to find reasons to hate by proxy the deservedly terrible voice actor and localization team who did such a shit job that they managed to change the character to be snarky and annoying, whereas in every other dub she's just your usual genki tomboy.
The english VA did such a terrible job that they made him come back and redo a certain set of lines that went viral and snuck it in during a patch

like the other anon said, CoP (and maybe RoZ) raid is guaranteed. the real question is if they'll do ToAU and rehash odin/alexander

its so funny how the localization this expansion was so dogshit the respone to that in 7.2 was to be wooden and safe as fuck.

fire kate already.

tranny retard cope.

wuk flopped and so did 7.0 rightfully so and people were bitching about the scions not being the scions you retard gaper.

This blatantly untrue because there plenty of people complaining about wuk terrible writing on the jp side. They wouldn't have done the rewrites for 7.2 if it was just the west complaining.

I don't see how you could think that Wuk isn't the character the plot revolves around the most out of any character in any expansion.

you misunderstand, i don't think an expansion having a focal character is actually a problem, i would actually argue the exact opposite that this is perfectly in keeping with every expansion that isn't endwalker and shadowbringers, wuk lamat's foibles are down to execution and even then i think mostly relate to the story being way longer than it should be

The one zone we get away from her is actually becomes about finding her lost bracelet or whatever. She jumps in last second to kill steal the final boss because the plot wasn't about her for 10 mins.

like this, i don't think either of these things are actually problems unless we accept as default that the story shifting away from the player character as main focus is a problem, and i reiterate that shadowbringers and endwalker are exceptions to the previous rule, even a realm reborn about your character's rise to heroism revolves primarily around the side-by-side uprising of the scions of the seventh dawn and your collaboration with them as a liaison and representative to the adventurer's guild, and the subsequent problems this causes when your clout and the scions' give alphinaud a foot in the door to start the crystal braves, breaking the apolitical stance in the worst possible way

For even more objective measurement look at the ratios of spoken words of characters in each expansion.

i just don't care that she has however many lines. i believe this is a problem of story length and not unwarranted character focus

In terms of writing and character, Wuk is pretty par for the course.

saheel ja said he was going to look at the ancients of the ff11 world. so it'll be zilart stuff. if i had to guess, it'll be another ff11 protag showing up. sehl'teus could appear, the zilart twins, kirin is a good guess imho

i'm still expecting shantotto to show up as well

IT'S GOOD B-BECAUSE... HAVEN'T Y'ALL EVER WATCHED A NARUTO BEFORE?

What the fuck is this cope and why is it so prevelant? I don't want plucky Naruto characters in my story.

People like to forget the game's character writing has never once been its strong suit, it's its Moments and its scenarios.

The launch line existed in the past but it doesn't now, so what does it matter? How does it affect you in the here and now? How does it affect a new player going through the game right this second? They will never hear it
You can look it up on youtube and have a giggle about how bad it used to be, that's it?
Can you explain why this matters? Keep in mind responding with a dismissive greentext or copy paste 4chanisms is not an explanation, try to write a human post

more retard cope.

stupid tranny baiter.

Jesus, fucking read you retard.
but besides that, ((our)) story is done and the scions are fucking cringe. Having them around constantly singing your praises and having everyone treat you like a celebrity just ruins any prospect of adventure

omg.... wuk lamat is just like LUFFY from ONE PIECE!!

have I read one piece? ew no... that's too many chapters!

I spent 5 million gil levelling and gearing a crafter and I don't know why I bothered

I'm never going to make a return on that investment

At least he was killed by the GW2 players. I don't know if FFXIV will survive long enough to get rid of her.

You're fucking retarded if you think the quality of writing hasn't been irreversibly changed since Shadowbringers. It had it's moments and granted they were satisfying but now it's all tropey anime-shit now.

Yeah I don't know where the Scions can go at this point character wise. I'm pretty sure they're characters have been thoroughly explored at this point and the well is dry. They should be retired aside from maybe an occasional cameo and a new group should be formed. Starting with Sphene

REEEE ONLY TRANNIES CAN VOICE TRANNIES (even though the source character isn't actually a tranny)

REEEE BUT I CAN VOICE A BIOLOGICAL WOMAN AND A BIOLOGICAL BLACK WOMAN EVEN THOUGH I'M A WHITE TRANNY

sena bryer is actually subhuman

He voices male characters too LMAO

pick one angle and stick with it anon

Homestuck I notice you never use any FFXIV-related reaction images, it's always some weird random irrelevant shit.

i don't think an expansion having a focal character is actually a problem

I don't either, in HW Estinien and Alphinaud are essentially focal characters, but when you have focal character as omnipresent as Wuk it actively takes away from other characters and does become a problem. The player character, while most certainly the main focus of HW, wasn't reduced to being a walking camera, not even to mention the lobotomy the scions got in DT. This omnipressence compounds with her extremely lackluster writing to create a truly disaster of a character

i think mostly relate to the story being way longer than it should be

I completely disagree. The length definitely makes it much more of a slog to get through but most the problems of the wuk's writing is inherent to how the story is told around her and would not change even if the expansion was as short as raid story.
Though let me be clear I don't think that Wuk is the only problem and that if she was rewritten DT would be back to 10/10 storytelling. Most chiefly, the world of Tural is quite possibly the worst written world they have ever made and might even be a bigger problem than Wuk's writting.

The "Dora the explorer" scene exists which is such a fucking egregious bit of writing.

Again Homestuck, another non-FFXIV related reaction image. You always pull up the weirdist shit for your reaction images.

The english VA did such a terrible job that they made him come back and redo a certain set of lines that went viral and snuck it in during a patch

Nice one, do a terrible job and he gets rewarded with another paycheck, plus the new lines still suck, still sounds like a man.
I would say Square Enix needs to curb these localizers but it seems they fully endorce them.

The length definitely makes it much more of a slog to get through but most the problems of the wuk's writing is inherent to how the story is told around her and would not change even if the expansion was as short as raid story.

we're ultimately complaining about the same thing which is that it's padded to fuck, they have to fill the excess amount of dead air with *something*, if it were pared down to a raid storyline's length wuk lamat would be just as present but she wouldn't have 1/3rd of the lines total she does unless we want to believe they'd write a novella to keep her character and line count about the same

Most chiefly, the world of Tural is quite possibly the worst written world they have ever made and might eve be a bigger problem than Wuk's writting.

when actually exploring any of XIV's regions in any particular depth i don't find any of them stand up to intense scrutiny, and i have no real problem with that because these are setpieces and locales and they aren't supposed to be "living, breathing" cities in any way, i don't find tural any more handwave-y or plain than i do ishgard

its far more likely they just used a different take than having him come in and rerecord

Nobody who values their ear drums use the EN dub.
Square hired the cheapest asshole available.
Somehow it is their fault.

MFW I see Big Black Roegadyn Cock

retard and stupid.

alisaie never got shit on and is one dimensional.

Sorry, I only fuck hrothgar men.

Barry won.

just look at that thing's disgusting face, then imagine the most vile voice attached to it

I thought Barry was a boogeyman I can't keep up with the schizos

She's very obviously the product of DEI investment. Actually not just her but the whole expac. Literally had a "muh gud food" lecture. Square has been slated for destruction. I wonder if there's a strong correlation between older square games and modern anti Semites.

no barry is real, but he's not present in these threads anymore because he'd be dumping a new folder every five minutes and not the same one for years at a clip

The reason your WoL cant do anything is guaranteed because "muh appropriation" of the culture shit.

I get blasted with a wave of soul-deep, heartaching nostalgia every time I see the ARR title screen. Most of the others have a bit of it, but nowhere near that level.

English Sphene is worth the pain of having to adjust the volume to 0 every time Wuk speaks

MFW I see Big Black Roegadyn Cock

There's a mod that lets you replace wuk lamat's voice lines, but it was never updated past 7.05
xivmodarchive.com/modid/116315

never updated past 7.05

i'm amazed it got as far as it did given how much work that is for so little return

I'm, just enjoying Expedition 33, man

How do I Zoidark trance???

you put your time loop in, you put your time loop out
you put your emet in and you selch it all about
you do the zodey odey and you trance yourself around
that's what it's all about

They had a really good setup with the trailers and I expected fun vacation times with my friends only to uncover some ancient evil that we have to fight, but instead we get a fucking mary sue furry who can't do anything wrong who also takes up most of the screentime.
Doesn't help that they've been homogenizing jobs for how many patches already.

bringing up homogenized jobs with the same tone and purpose as family guy's city hall bit about bringing up 9/11 to secure voters

You know I'm right lul
fuck parsetrannies

how do you do, fellow ziv players

Kek no wonder that game flopped. All they had to do is make tokyo drift in that aesthetic

Mutts wouldn't get it

i imagined you said your post in a cartoon voice therefore

Homestuck moment.

Dawntrail. It reminds me of my transition, like the way it turns into glitter as the triumphant music plays.

True and powerful they should add a Blahaj in the water!!!!!

Could say the same about the trannie lmao

called indecisive

begins talking about trannies

I see the trannies are up to

I-It was always shit

copium for shittrail. Love to see it

Shittrail more like skidmark LOL

Silly schizo, you're meant to READ the thread before responding in it

kill yourself

Pink titty
Miss you, hope it's fun
Will be getting it eventually myself, it looks good
