Endwalker was a great mess(SPOILERS)

[Raven2014]

And the big problem is that regarding the Plenty, she had a summary of a couple of lines of what happened to that star.

And here is the problem with people taking cutsceen literally instead of abstractly. I remember going through Elpis in a matter of hours, whence the game implied it took days. Also, the Hydalyn vs Zodiak war is understood as a big civil war between 2 supreme entities ... do you think the sundering happens just like that, she talked to a few random ancient, and sunder them on the spot in her human form!?

The "characters" definitely would have a lot more detail form in all story elements that are abstracted into a few line to be delivered to the players, that's just how it is in a video game ... unless someone decide to write a book.

They weren’t really obsessed with perfection

not yet anyway, but it's clear they're on the road there, seeing how easily they willing to cast away "imperfection".

This is even what the scions and the main cast strive for. It’s what numerous npc’s regard as well. Striving for the best in the future.

The difference is ... the Scion pursuit the cause while weep for any life that is loss. The ancient putting the perfection of the start at the foremost and everything else (including life) is a distant second.
