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

[Theodric]

I’ve played every final fantasy game barring 11. If we really want to go down the “14 is like the other ff’s” then shall i bring up how the past ff games have actually had consequences for the protagonists and killed off their characters? If you read some of these posts you’d see that while people do take issue with meteion or what have you, there’s much more being said about the actual themes, how they’re contradicted numerous times, and(in peoples opinion) the overall poor writing for this end of a 10 year long arc.

I've also played pretty much every Final Fantasy game as well as various other JRPG's. FFXIV itself gave the impression of wanting to tell a mature, coherent story rather than plunge into the pitfalls that led so many other games in the genre astray.

In addition, as someone who left WoW due to that game jumping the shark with its own storytelling? Well, it's a shame to see yet another MMO arguably make some of the same mistakes!
