Transphobic abuse sent to Final Fantasy 14's Wuk Lamat voice actor "breaks my heart", says Naoki Yoshida

Final Fantasy 14's Naoki Yoshida said personal abuse sent to Wuk Lamat's voice actor "breaks my heart".

Yoshida has commented on the character, as well as the abuse Bryer received, in a new interview with Checkpoint Gaming, acknowledging player feedback and tweaks coming in forthcoming patches. "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. This isn't the first time Yoshida has been outspoken against this abuse, telling German outlet JPGames in September it was "really difficult" to discern valid criticism from people "just criticising the character in relation to values".
