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

[Shironeko_Narunyan]

I wasn't a fan of the "dynamis" thing, because it wasn't foreshadowed properly as a "thing". Had they mentioned something about an "unknown force next to aether" in past expansions, this would have worked better.
That Zodiark was a Fandaniel sock puppet didn't work for me, either. There was potential there making the sundering an honest mistake born out of a misunderstanding, and Zodiark not being evil at all, and instead of freeing him being a catastrophe, he could have been the key to salvation for the planet. That would have been a much stronger plot twist.

They've been hinting at this for a long time now. They really just finally gave it an official name. We push past our limits on a regular basis. And even the Echo doesn't explain it, because we can push further than others with the Echo.

Didn't Elidibus question your power when he struck you after becoming the Warrior of Light Incarnate?
Doesn't the Stone of Azem that you call on a few times use Dynamis?

Except even the lore surrounding dynamis is wonky. They say its tied to limit breaks now, yet in the past its always been classified as a combination of aether granted to you by your allies. If its purely dynamis, then the fact Elidibus and the ancient trusts in endwalker can use them causes some inconsistencies. If its a combination of the two, that even further complicates things as then im even further questioning how the ancients wouldnt have known about it for thousands of years.

Maybe it's both aether and dynamis, but not necessarily in combination. As in, you can break your limit either with aether or with dynamis (or both).

Refresh my memory please, because I don't truly don't recall. Is that out of game knowledge given to us the players or in game knowledge we found out from allies and others?

Its a line during the Final Fight

The final boss says "Dynamis?" after you limit break. That's it.

That particular fight takes place in a realm built out of Dynamis instead of Aether, it's a rather exceptional set of circumstances.
