What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Skivvy]

I dunno, I kinda agree with it. I was not a fan of the story as a whole this time around, and the points OP made were definitely some of my complaints with it.

Not everything needs to be discarded as bait just because it goes against the main consensus.

edit:

This one is more speculation, but it's due to the fact that if she did do anything other than what she did do, we wouldn't have had anything to go back to. It would potentially not have existed as per any time paradox that would happen from changing any major point in history. It at least allowed her to be able to prepare her champions in a way she saw fit to be able to at least attempt to stop Meteion.

I'm a big Doctor Who nerd, and time loops come into play now and then. While I don't love how they handled the Venat situation (with her knowing everything and not really doing much), I can at least accept that this was a paradox that had to play out just as it did.....otherwise it would never have happened at all. However, I can appreciate that some people may not enjoy that type of storyline as it can feel like a cheap excuse for leaving a bunch of loose ends in the story, only for everything to suddenly work out just fine because it was a paradox.

Can't please everyone though, but I am happy that it seems the majority of players enjoyed how it all wrapped up. ShB will still be my baby
