Well, at least we know Brianna isn't racist against East Asians.

Hey, John Flynt, Dynasty Warriors features tons of Chinese characters. You know, what with it being inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms and taking place in China.

Frank is American, John. He was born in Philly.
Frank is American, John. He was born in Philly.
"I was born in 1964 in Philadelphia. My dad was getting his Ph.D. in history at the time, so I was named after Ben Franklin. They thought about calling me Ben Wu, but they thought that Frank Wu sounded better. My brother was named after George Washington. Even though we're ethnically Chinese, you don't get more American than that."

Hoo boy. Longpost time. Follow me below the spoiler tag if you want an explanation.
Let me elaborate on my earlier statement:
Final Fantasy Tactics is divided up into Chapters. The first two cover the protagonist's background and his ultimate involvement with a massive conspiracy (Final Fantasy Tactics is deeply political with most high-ranking political characters having labyrinthine political agendas that are based off of IRL politicking in the middle ages, only worse; there's themes of rape, betrayal, murder, you name it). The first chapter culminates in a relatively harsh but ultimately tense fight at a snow-covered fort wherein a character of minor importance to the story, but critical importance to a specific character dies, ultimately leading for them to become a broken bitter wreck of a human being. The second chapter culminates with a corrupted church official who is secretly harboring a demon.
Many of the mandatory fights you've had by now are tough, but not necessarily immensely so, with arguably the five hardest being, in ascending order:
5. Fort Zeikeden, Chapter 1
The easiest of the five, the last battle of chapter 1 is a tough one due to the AI for Delita being lacking and the enemy force group being loaded with annoying long-rangers (Black Mages/Argath himself). Easily one of the hardest battles in FFT's first chapter, kif it weren't for.....
4. The Fight Vs. Weigraf in Chapter 1
Weigraf is a Holy Knight. He spams immensely strong and destructive sword techniques that cause enormous damage and he can quickly whittle your forces down. Worse, his favorite two techniques induce instant death or condemned status. The cheesy way to beat him is to break/steal his sword; with that out of the way he can't use his attacks and becomes a pushover, but his HP is low enough that you can whittle him down quickly with focused attacks. The TL;DR is don't let him get to medium range and don't let him stay there.
3. Lionel Castle Gate, Chapter 2
The only battle this isn't harder than it already is - a 1v1 between Ramza and that special-class-prick Gafgarion - is that your allies start outnumbering the enemies outside the gate. It still isn't easy by any stretch because one of those units outside the gate is a summoner and can essentially blast your whole force group if they pull off a spell. Deal with Gaf fast and/or open the gate and this is easier; you can also steal/break his sword (which is a weapon that won't be available until next chapter; sweet).
2. Golgollada Gallows, Chapter 2
This battle is legit hard, even with backup from Agrias, unless you power-leveled a bit. Gafgarion, Archer Support, Time Mages and more. Gafgarion is also packing an incredibly useful sword that you are going to want to steal since it's rare as fuck. All of this conspires to make this level a giant pain in the ass for the unprepared.
1. Cuchulainn, Chapter 2
First demon boss. Not hugely hard on his own especially if you brought accessories to block his fucking annoying Nightmare spell. Failing this, hit him with everything and he goes down pretty quick if targetted with your best gear and characters, but as a boss he's much tougher than anything you'e seen so far.
Now, you may wonder why I just explained what the toughest battles were in the first two chapters.
I did to establish context.
Those first two Chapters are hard, but not impossible if you didn't grind and grab some good items here and there. Chapter Three exists to remind you that preparation is a vital part of warfare and you damned well better have done so or you're about to be on the losing side of some advice from Sun Tzu.
To elaborate: Chapter 3 is where the plot rapidly gains pace. You are quickly faced with a bevy of tough battles, including Izlude and a reappearance of Weigraf (same tactic applies). After you beat the ever-loving tobacco juice out of Weigraf he uses one of the stones and becomes the vessel for Belias, another of the demons.
At the end of Chapter 3, FFT throws not one - not two - but fucking three of the toughest battles in the game at you - TWO IN ONE FIGHT, followed by an even tougher one. It is entirely possible to "save into a corner" in this game and if you do a search for "hardest battle in FFT" you will find the two battles I am about to mention at the top of the list.
The first such battle is the second battle in Riovanes Castle. You fight Weigraf in a 1v1 with your protagonist. He had the common sense to make like Izlude and pack on Safeguard this time, so you're not breaking/stealing his shit for an easy win this time, and just for good measure, he's packing Martial Arts as his secondary skill, completely mastered, so he can heal himself, strike from a ridiculous range, and generally be a massive dick. He comes with immunity to every status but Blind, Silence, Oil, and Slow. There is almost no easy way to win this fight other than maybe abusing Dragoon, Dark Knight, or a few nasty tricks Squire can manage. Weigraf still loves that instant death technique, too.
Even the survival trick with the Chemist Counter Ability Auto Potion (sell off the lower potions; carry as many X-Potion as possible; heal for 150 each time you're hit) won't really resolve the problem. Weigraf does shittons of damage and your usual method of beating him is a fucking brutal damage race or glitching out his AI with the Chameleon Robe. The fight ends when you get him below 20%, at which point your squad shows up to back you up and Weigraf turns into Belias, summoning a team of Archaeodemons.
In this next league of the fight, your hero protagonist still has any injuries from the first part of the fight, which means healing him up is priority one. After that is killing Belias. Unfortunately he has lots of health, quite a bit of backup and casts, over and over again, the Summon Spell Cyclops, which hits for approximately ten fucktons of damage and is the second-strongest summon in the game. Many, many players beat Weigraf only to die to Belias and his team of magic-spamming shitheads. Making it worse, Belias is also a viciously strong monster and will beat your shit in with every blow. The most reliable way to stop him is to deplete his MP entirely - this forces him to use his far less dangerous physical attacks and status effects, that whilst devastating, aren't as much of a threat.
So let's say you kill Belias. Congrats! Tough battle won.
Now prepare for an even harder one.
Atop Riovanes Castle, you fight Elmdore and two assassins. These characters essentially one-shot you at close range or inflict unavoidable status effects, and, failing these, they do absolute fucktons of damage in close-combat. Elmdore himself is an overglorified Samurai with much higher stats. You fail this battle if Rapha, who is both ill-equipped and in a bad position dies. In fact, if you haven't ground for levels, it's very possible to Rapha to die before you even get to perform an action. The battle ends if you reduce any of the enemies to critical HP or kill them, which isn't hard because your party outnumbers him almost 2-to-1, but this fight is ridiculously easy to lose.
All of which brings me back to Brianna Wu.
Without getting into it, I don't think Wu has the patience for the kind of grind or tactical planning I just mentioned in the above paragraphs. Thus I find her claims of beating this game highly suspect.

I guess Wu doesn't know about Journey to the West. (Based on a Chinese book) You can also choose to be either a male or female protagonist.

Ok one, that guy never said that the characters were Japanese, just that the creators were.
Two, Dynasty Warrior is indeed based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on of the Four Great Classical Novels of CHINESE Literature.
And Bitch, I can't tell where a given East Asian person is from on sight and I'm Chinese.

I thought Frank could almost pass as an older version of Wei Shen, but I thought I was just being racist with my white eyes and seeing all Asians as the same.
This is actually an important distinction to make because the Chinese and the Japanese really don't get along. They pretty much hate each other because of their long history together. I'd almost call their attitudes towards each other "racist" but as neither of them are white I guess they can't be.
But yeah, he's a pretty westernised Asian so much of the distinction is lost.
Also why does a character have to share the same nationality as a person in order to resemble them? I've seen a few characters who I thought could have resembled me but since none of them lined up my specific ethnic background and heritage, I guess they couldn't have.

"A comedienne has enough of a man harassing her, and tells his family about the behavior. I UNDERSTAND THIS URGE....
Benefits of harassing women: Whiter Teeth Fresh Breath The devastation and wreckage you caused yourself and others fades for like 5 seconds"
Men who harass women are the worst, aren't they, John? Reminiscent of this:
This Frank Wu guy sounds like a real piece of work, having doxxed a woman and had people threaten and abuse her, as did he. Can you imagine the kind of person who would "marry" such a guy, knowing that? Must be a real lowlife and anti-feminist.

I changed my number because I was getting phone messages from his friends telling me I was a piece of shit - basically repeating everything he had told me for the year we were together....
Let me ask you - what sort of woman runs away across the country, changes her phone number and cuts ties with all of her friends because SHE is the abuser? What sort of man publicly posts such outrageous shit about his ex-wife in a public forum? Yeah, I thought so.
I don't want to live in fear anymore. So, Frank Wu, take your lies and shove them. You can't manipulate me. And you can't hurt me anymore, either."

Isn't it a fairly major theme in the game that grandstanding has a tendency to backfire horribly? I think Winston gets killed because he overreached to a catastrophic degree. Am I completely screwing up the story from that game?

Wait a second... "Almost 100% of the threats"? Does that mean that someone made a death threat on twitter against Brianna and didn't get suspended? That sounds strange considering how that Geth guy got banned for doing nothing more than pointing Wu's contradictions. If twitter is so trigger-happy, at least against Wu's targets, then surely even the faintest hint of a death threat would result in a banhammer.
So I guess either she is using a very very open definition of "death threat" or, most likely, she pulled that percentage along with the death threats out of her arse.

My gut feeling says that Wu didn't play any of the games she mentioned. She's probably going through a "Hardest Games Ever" list and is reading up on them.
So, does anyone really believe Wu receives such a high amount of death threats, that she needs to measure them in percent?

I don't think she would, is the thing. Even with a walkthrough and even in the PSP version, it's still easier for her to, yanno, just do what she thinks works.
