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

Mass murder?

Like other has said, the first two sacrifice are volunteers. The third one we won't even know if it would be voluntary or not since the new life that would be sacrificed aren't born yet to make that choice, or if it's even human soul that is needed. Let's just assume the third one is not voluntary for argument sake though, yet it doesn't change the fact that the first two are done willingly.

And she didn't commit genocide, the souls were simply split. Proof of that aplenty in game.

So if I split a human into 14 monkeys with no clear recollection of their human memory, does that mean I didn't kill them? Even erasing one's identity (like how the Exarch did to young g'raha or how minfilia did to previous oracle of lights) can be considered "killing" the person, you know?

What a mental gymnastic.

What proofs, really? The fact that nobody remembers them except for vague recollection which they drawn on cave walls? That the Ancients was erased from history?

You literally rejoin with Ardbert, and Emet saw a vision of your whole soul. The Rejoining itself is what they were doing to bring back all of the ancients, which means they weren't gone...
