Disappointed in one Endwalker Aspect [SPOILERS]

[MikkoAkure]

This. Unfortunately, what we were left with was entrusting the knowledge of the future to someone who arguably misused that information and prevented us from acting further to make a difference. So, at the end, I came away from it feeling like dirt. Not only had I failed to save anyone in the past, I trusted the wrong person to do the right thing, and I gave her the ammunition to do it with too.

To be fair, before sending us back in time Elidibus tells us that we cannot undo the Final Days. Elidibus himself already knows everything that happens because he realizes that we've already done this and he saw us there (Pandaemonium). He sends us back in time already knowing that we're not going to change history and stop the Final Days from happening. And besides that, our world, everyone we know, and we ourselves owe our existence to the fact that the Final Days already happened.

The idea that WoL staying behind would actually affect anything is pretty naive. What could we possibly do and who else could we tell without Fandaniel finding out and then sabotaging everything again? The Final Days themselves could be hundreds of years off still and happen after the end of our natural lifespan. Meteion herself is out there and the Ancients have no way at all to deal with her directly. Even if we somehow magically save the day for the Ancients, what then? This is a video game, not a book or a movie. Saving the day for the Ancients would mean our world would never exist. What would you expect to happen? That we go to Elpis, tell Emet-Selch all the things that happen but that we still love him and stay behind in Elpis for the rest of the video game and the day is saved and we never go to any other zones or do anything ever again?
