I didn't hate her, that would require me to feel strong enough about her to feel a particular way. Other than the interruption in the Sphene fight she more or less was just a Shonen MC at her core. We had been relegated to a mentor character which I didn't mind because Endwalker should've been the end of our personal story imho. The issue with Wuk is in presentation, and the nature of an MMO story where you aren't the MC. Like the FFT raids had Ramza as the MC but he was primarily on the sidelines in actual combat other than the cheer during Ultima. Wuk is a constant presence that primarily feels off due to the constant air that despite you being the mentor here in any place that you could contribute Wuk is already there, she is perpetually on par if not better at times than you, making it feel at times that you're less a mentor figure and more a sidekick. That's a fault on the narrative structure of Dawntrail moreso than Wuk as a character. It's part of why I'm glad Bakool Ja Ja is in that slot for the FFXI raids, because he needs a guiding hand far more considering his faults and needing to basically unlearn what was beaten into him
