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

I'm sorry you didn't like it. I might have paid a tiny bit of attention. For over a decade.

You called it a "polarizing" expansion, not me.
Maybe you mean it in terms of "No matter how illogical the story was set up you can still enjoy it to some degree or not, and thus there lies the polarizing aspect"?
