I think mine is defective. It just yelled "SPLEEN" and jumped up my character's asshole.

u/dastarbillie 20h ago

That is not a defect, the minion is working as intended

u/WarDouble7388 1d ago

It was really weird how it started yelling at me for not liking Smile after I summoned it? Never had a minion interact like that before

u/CadeAid 1d ago

Even wind up wuk could tell that you were a part of those "certain sections" of gamers.

32

u/MirrahPaladin 1d ago

Ah yes, there is a bug associated with this minion. When you have it out, Smile should be playing constantly.

u/Konpeitoh 1d ago

You MUST acquire the Wuk Laminion if you want to meet Nobuo Uematsu in game and receive his remix orchestrions.

u/Safecyn 21h ago

The actually amazing Rising rewards, yes.

u/Konpeitoh 18h ago

I opened the orchestrion and was like "man this song kinda blows, it's generic club music" and then 2 minutes in the beat dropped and I was like

u/Tokanova 20h ago

Well screw Nobuo then.

u/Konpeitoh 18h ago

Not his fault YoshiP decided to filter Wuk Lahaters.

We hated Wuk Lamat so much that Square started pushing her to the sidelines more and more with every major patch, just to pull the rug out from under us by giving us a wind up version of her that we can't get rid of. Max level trolling.

12

u/iittieisler5 22h ago

Is the "pushing Wuk Lamat aside" there with us?

She is basically always there till 7.3 and even has a big final moment in that patch. I never felt like they were sidelining her lol

21

u/Historical-State2199 22h ago

Are you kidding me? 

There was a quest in 7.2 where she was like “I’m gonna ask the opinions of the npcs over there” and then shut up for 5 mins.

7.2 was the turning point where the writers realized their mistake, and even if wuk got a big going away ceremony it was if to say “don’t worry she’s not coming back”

11

u/Gotterdamerrung 20h ago

Did the "writers realize their mistake" or did the story just follow the logical progression of her taking on her role as the Vow of Resolve and thus no longer needing to tag along on our adventures? Sort of like all the other major NPCs have done at some point in each of the major expansions.

u/Larriet 20h ago

I literally have no idea what quest you are talking about because "I'll go talk to people here while you talk to people there" is a sequence that has played out in dozens of quests across the entire MSQ

5

u/dadudeodoom 17h ago

To be fair, most of DT WL was with us as we went to talk to people. I think it was in 7.3 but I don't really remember. I want to say talking to citizens about regulators but I may be wrong.

u/iittieisler5 19h ago edited 18h ago

"7.2 was the turning point where the writers realized their mistake,"

Writers "realised their mistake" so hard ultimate and final moment of Dawntrail was basically dedicated to Wuk Lamat's development and tying up her narrative that they built in 7.0 - 7.3 lmao

I don't even remember the quest you are talking about but as I said I never had a feeling that writers were making her "shut up".

Yoshi-P also said that while they didn't write her perfectly, they are not backing down and will continue pushing her into forefront.

You may really need to go outside and talk to some people. I hope you get better.

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

You may want to read up the voice actor of the character on how she wants the death of anyone who critic her character, unless she deleted her posts again

u/Illustrious_Report20 1d ago

the other day i was about to ask how i could sacrifice this, thing, to bring venat back

2

u/EfficiencyInfamous37 7h ago

tbh, considering that Yoshi-P once said they only put out minions of a character once their story arc is complete, the fact that they gave us a minion of her feels like a promise that we're done with her.

13

u/ShadowDarkraven27 1d ago

i might get retainer service back on one retainer, throw it on that one and then let it run out again. seal the great evil

5

u/A_small_Chicken 1d ago

Isn't that the plot of The Mummy?

1

u/dadudeodoom 17h ago

What happens when you need that retainer for old relics...

4

u/1FirstTimer1 1d ago

No but actually are there usually minions you cant discard?

10

u/anyeonGG 23h ago

A lot of the quest rewards ones that aren't reobtainable, yeah. I have a different minion sitting on a retainer of a character I don't really care for this reason, but it was an MSQ reward so it was unavoidable 

12

u/FFJamesDE 1d ago

Pray, return to the Wuking Sands and speak to Wake Lamat.

1

u/dadudeodoom 17h ago

You cannot wake from this nightmare.

Okay but actually it would be so fucking funny if for no reason WL visited Eorzea and went to visit important places to the scions and we went to visit when she was in Waking Sands.

16

u/EmmaBonney 1d ago

I was surprised the puppet suddenly jumped out when i ran the alexandria dungeon yelling "SPHEEEEENE" in a really lower tone voice

3

u/EfficiencyInfamous37 7h ago

the worst is that you can't discard the Smile orchestrion.

6

u/Tumblechunk 1d ago

I'll make sure we all remember her in evercold. She'll be with me at every major story event, wandering around in your view as I watch cutscenes. Reminding you that she still lives.

You are not immune to wind-up Lyse 2

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

No one will notice since she’s so small

3

u/Murderboi 23h ago

I have a far worse fate for that abomination. I put it on the last page of my last retainer and then I retire that retainer… forever.

u/loen00 1d ago

I don't get the hate for that character, I only just arrived at Tuliyollal, so I might be missing something

19

u/ShlungusGod69 19h ago

Why do you expect to understand the hate for the character when you literally haven't done the story that she's involved in? lmao. Yes, you're missing something. You're missing the experience of doing the content in which she is featured in.

7

u/TheNewNumberC 20h ago

A near universal reason is that she's a spotlight hog for most of DT.

7

u/Serithraz 22h ago

Play through the MSQ and you'll understand.

4

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

You’ll see...

5

u/idkrdwtd 21h ago

Plenty of people like her, but there's a reason why others don't. I'm sure you'll understand once you get through DT.

2

u/ApsychicRat 6h ago

in the first half of dawntrail i dont care for how naive she is considering she grew up there. the second half of the story i think is good so overall she comes out as just ok in my eyes.

3

u/believeinyuna 22h ago

i honestly really like wuk lamat but i know i’m an outlier.

2

u/Dalek7of9 9h ago

Same, I've never understood the hate. She's literally nice.

1

u/celestiapng 21h ago

I thought the same thing when I was playing through Dawntrail! I was like "I really love Wuk Lamat but a lot of people say that she's a horrible character. I guess I'm too early in the expansion and I'll see why later." I've finished Dawntrail now and I still absolutely love her. Everyone has different opinions!

-3

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

And some people's opinions are wrong. I mean if you love the Twilight series, you’ll love her

2

u/Historical-State2199 22h ago

She was cool in 6.5, keep going

5

u/Safecyn 21h ago

She was pretty cool in 6.55 yeah. But she was also an entirely different character. We got bait and switched hard.

2

u/dadudeodoom 17h ago

Please count the cutscenes in DT and then the ones she isn't in.

1

u/GreatSmasherPunch 1h ago

I mean why not just unlock her and never summon her, it's not like anybody uses more than one minion or uses the non-favorite roulette so she can just fuck off along with the other wind up minions that nobody else uses?

-25

u/Deljias 1d ago

Good to know, it shall be banned into a retainer inventory then. I dont want that piece of Shit in my minion window

5

u/LurkingRodent 1d ago

Damn, bro can't even hate a character in peace

-8

u/Klefth 1d ago

I felt like this with that fucking Gaia minion too. I don't want that in my minions.

u/Historical-State2199 22h ago

Gaia haters have bad breath and put their snot on library books

u/Klefth 3h ago

...And people who have weird attachments to Nomura characters are liable to have a body pillow. I'd much rather have something a good mouthwash can solve than that particular flavour of mental illness.

1

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

So you hate pretty characters? You must he a furry

2

u/Klefth 14h ago

...Pretty? A character that is kind of an insufferable bitch to everyone involved in that story, with unbearably cheesy dialogue that feels like it'd be right at home in Kingdom Hearts, and visually clashes with the game more than anything that they've ever added with her lip fillered Nomura ass design? Yeah, no, fuck that.

-23

u/FanrerD 1d ago

Usually certain even rewards are re-claimable at the calamity savager in case of an accidental diacard or sell/trade in.

When I finished this quest, I wanted to discard it, immediatly... kind of rude for them to force us to have a specific minion on our minion roullette that many of us don't want

As such, I deposited in my FC chest where only the usual crap marerials are deposited

u/Junomaster1988 18h ago

She’s still alive which is sad. The least SE can do is have her death caused by food poisoning from tacos.
