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

Getting sidetracked, but does anyone remember the reason why the Ancients want to bring back the people sacrificed to Zodiark, back in Shadowbringers (not the reason they tell us in EW)?

I tried to re-watch the cutscene again, but only got the "we will wait for the world to burst with vitality, then sacrifice it to bring back our people wh were sacrificed".

The reason has never changed, so I'm not sure why you're asking. They want to bring back the ones who were sacrificed precisely because they were sacrificed. They want to bring back their families and friends.

Yep. Which, in itself, is completely understandable - and they seemingly had the means to do as much. It's why the final zone felt so cheap to me. On one hand, literally everybody else is told to 'move on' but when the Warrior of Light loses his companions, they're brought back from the dead. In Y'shtola's case it isn't the first or even second time, either.
