Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

I've come to appreciate just how chill crafting is. Currently, the only one I have at a somewhat decent level is Carpenter(81 so far, everything else is floating between 25 and 50)but I should be able to wrap that up by the end of the week at this rate. Although, I do need to get into farming Gil
 
I'll give them a chance to try and make Wuk Lamat actually be somewhat tolerable. But I gotta be honest, if you couldn't do it with a full fucking MSQ that focussed excessively on her to the point that it ate into every other part of the story, then I don't think a patch quest is gonna magically make her the best character ever.

>"One additional thing, there were comments about how we are too accepting of diversity — some people seem to be disapproving of that. I’m afraid one of our staff members received very negative comments and it almost felt like a personal attack, which breaks my heart, because she worked really hard and these criticisms were not constructive at all. [Editor’s note: Yoshida is referring to the transphobic verbal abuse and death threats that Wuk Lamat’s voice actress, who is a trans woman, has reportedly received from some FFXIV users.] It doesn’t do anything except make the staff lose motivation, and in the end that could potentially damage the quality of our game and take away from what makes this game so interesting. So if there are any sort of criticisms, bring it to me, because I’m the one approving this material. I wanted to reiterate that, please refrain from personal attacks against our staff."

This (assuming the editor isn't just putting words in Yoshi's mouth, tho it seems pretty clear even without the editor's note who he's referring to, unless he means Kate, who's just as bad if not worse of a woke actor as Sena) is the third time he's come out in defense of Sena Bryer, after he's been proven to be a hypocritical piece of shit who

>lied about being latino
>called for a cis (normal) persone to be fired from their role as Bridgett in Guilty Gear because they aren't trans IRL, while then going on to voice a biological female character in this game despite himself being a MTF tranny
>Has wished violence on actors who aren't trans voicing trans characters
>called the entire FFXIV community racist for not liking a song
>Is constantly making the entire game and company look bad by association with these antics
>And is just shit at his job, being so bad that he singlehandendly mad countless people switch from EN to other languages to avoid his comically bad voice acting.

Yet Yoshi never said one single word about Susan Calloway, the beloved singer behind the most iconic song of the entire game (Answers), being cancelled for liking a tweet that said kids shouldn't be able to undergo tranny genital mutilation surgery, and said twitter mob not only harassed her but even threatened violence against the convention she was set to speak at around that time. They fired her, but let this despicable troon (who shits all over the community, makes the entire game and SE look bad by association, and is iredeemably shit at being a voice actor) not only stick around, but Yoshi P has now THRICE come out in defense of him and his still-unproven claims of harassment and death threats.

Fuck this gay, tranny worshipping nip.

I earnestly believe you could fix Wuk's character and would even go as far as to say that their intentions and some scant moments were fine, but the overall execution was horrid and to many, Sena's performance understandably took that further deeper into the gutter. The lack of every other Scion was shit too

Im not exactly expecting them to do it and Yoshi has been pretty dismissive of any actual criticism of Sena's retardation so i wont hold my breath. I will look forward to seeing how people recieve the patch quests and the eventual leadup to 8.0 and the potentual of that being even worse than the mediocre filler that was Dawntrail.
 
The correct way to respond to this is to unsub. (Or let your sub lapse). They know how to kill women of importance before. Your move, Yoshi-shill.
Unfortunately it's pretty much established fact at this point that the people that actually play the game, do challenging content, and don't spend all day gooning in Limsa, have become the minority of players. Far out-numbered by troon and fag modbeasts that can't parse their way out of a paper bag. Check out the unofficial census the JPs do by scraping lodestone data. In a game that claims over two million active users, people actually clearing raids and other things on-content is in the low to mid six figures across all DCs.

Sure, but these kinds of 'communities' always end up the same, with zero growth and only losing users when the ones at the top (SE in general) inevitably do something that angers them.

And boy are they incredibly easy to anger, I hope Troonsucker YoshiP is very practiced in his eggshell walking because he might be in the process of decapitating any growth XIV could have.

LowT's downfall could very well be a microcosm of what's going to happen here, and both would deserve it.
 
I tried to give DT a fair shake even without it’s rabid defenders souring my point of view on the story but I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to enjoy it. None of the characters click with me and I’m bored out of my mind. There is way too much reliance on characters being stupid and incompetent to move the story forward and the scions are nothing more than cheerleaders for Wuk. It’s so painful seeing the twins go from their really good roles in the Garlemard arc of base EW to being completely gutted of their personalities in a span of a single expansion. This is literally the first time throughout my entire experience in XIV where I started skipping multiple cutscenes in a row and not feel hooked by the plot. Even ARR, Stormblood and the more controversial parts of Endwalker for all their flaws still gave me stories and characters to care about and motivated me to continue on to see what happens next to them. I have no such feelings towards Dawntrail.

Wuk’s biggest issue for me is how over the top she is. She’s loud, hyper, and overbearing. I’m sure everyone here has had at least on person in their friend group that is always loud and in your face, that will always latch on to someone and act like a hyperactive child and you can’t escape them. That is Wuk in a nutshell. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing if she was just a side character or had a much smaller role but she is the main face of Dawntrail. Say what you want about Lyse and Zero but they were at least calm and their presence didn’t give me a migraine.

Yeah, she was completely unbearable. I agree that it would have chafed less if she weren't 90% of the dialogue but it seems like that's what we have to look forward to going forward. I'd love to think maybe they'll pull the game out of the fire to save their moneymaker, after seeing how upset the reception to her has been, but after Yoshi's recent interviews I just don't feel that optimistic.

It's disappointing because I still think DT had some pretty okay dungeons and trials. It could have been fun if they'd just taken a little care to not drop a steaming dump on the preexisting lore while saddling us with a new main character who sucks all the joy out of the room in every scene.
 
For those of you who want to take a trip down memory lane, page 219 of this thread details the start of the Kiwi experience of Endwalker lol.

Oh, how innocent times were back then.

It is important to also remember that the alleged death threats
  1. only occured after Sena Bryer made the Imane Khalif comments meaning that the Final Fantasy XIV player community is being blamed for actions of the worldwide Twitter community
  2. Bryer never stated they filed a police report or provided evidence any death threats ever existed
  3. Bryee only mentioned death threats in a single tweet message and never elaborated upon what platform the message was received, what time it was received, the contents of the message, and if any legal action was taken.
  4. The death threat claim was casually forgotten as Bryer happily continued to use the Twitter account to post other inane messages like nothing happened

At least Lyse had the capability of being a good character if she wasn't overshadowed by literally anyone else
Bryee only mentioned death threats in a single tweet message and never elaborated upon what platform the message was received, what time it was received, the contents of the message, and if any legal action was taken.
Troon Commandment 2: Hesitate not to invoke death threats, for the burden of proof lies not upon you, but upon those who find fault in your words
 
I just remembered this interview Yoshi did during Shadowbringers where he recounted a story about how he cried because he saw a Japanese mother shield her 5-year old daughter from the sight of a tranny:


>"Let me give an example: I was heading to the office on a Saturday and I saw a situation that made me very sad. I was trying to go into the office and I was waiting at a red light. I saw a high schooler coming from the other side of the road in their school uniform. It seemed that they were biologically male at birth but they were wearing a sailor fuku, which is traditionally female attire. In Japanese high schools, there’s more and more schools that are accommodating for freedom of not being restricted to a specific gender for your uniform...That person probably wanted to present the gender they identified with in their heart...On the other side of the road was a mother and a daughter. The daughter was perhaps 5 years old. As soon as the mother saw the high schooler, she shielded her daughter as if she didn’t want her daughter to see. The high schooler must have been very hurt. Situations like these still happen and there’s areas where there’s not as much understanding."

Great. So the MMO I chose to get attached to is being shepherded by a tranny loving fuck, and this wasn't just a one-off bad decision to pander to westerners.

Ignore any previously hopeful posts; FFXIV will not improve ever.

It's extra bad because it's not just the awful quality of writing and dialogue, but how much of it there is, and how much is just the same shit, different area. If you're going to base your focus on your expansion on a new character, then this character has to be well-written and likeable. WL is neither of those things.
 
Artists are generally faggots so I'm not too surprised, he could go and organize daily orgies where he sucks at least 50 troon cocks per hour if he felt so inclined to, and as long as it didn't cross over into the game itself I could not really give much of a shit.

With ShB it didn't, with Yawntrail it most definitely is starting to do so and in the worst way possible.
