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

[Stachiko]

What would the ancients have done if Venat didn't sunder the world?

We were forced to perceive their entire civilization would crumble if she brought attention to it. Paradise falling apart if you will. Square spun us a web and we were expected to accept it 100%.

She had a lot of options and she chose one that would impact generations of people. Essentially, she chose to play god. That is wrong on so many levels.

Again though, I can't critique too heavily. Square approached a lot of sensitive topics here (Time travel, space travel, etc), things they shouldn't have. But they're not in the graveyard like another MMO's story. Ending a story isn't easy.
