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

[OhNooo]

Snip.

Honestly I don’t think it matters to people who defend the story so hard. Like I truly believe that if the writers had done what you suggested with the dynamis familiars and other things, and if the story had a different ending, all it takes is for someone to say they didn’t like the story and list all their reasons why before you get someone saying “You didn’t understand the story…the reason why we needed the dynamis familiars was because…and see if you had paid attention to the lore…” The devs can write anything and people will defend it.

The reality is that for a lot of us who have problems with the story, no amount of quotes and showing screenshots of lore is going to change a perception or opinion. If I say this is the way things looked to me, this is the vibe I got, I didn’t like this character because they came off as this to me…someone showing me quotes from the lore doesn’t do anything to my perception that the story came off as convoluted, rushed and in some parts ridiculous to me.

But at this point I just break out the popcorn and watch the show lol people get so worked up.

Agreed, some of the ardent defenders have really backfired in regards to my opinion. I call Hydaelyn/Venat a sparkleprincess mary-sue as mostly a joke, but their need to tear down a fictional race that happens to be superior to mortals in some aspects but also have their own downsides (that I like) seems pretty real.

All this talk of Venat/Hydaelyn being genocidal. To be frank those that survived the sundering were just as bad..

For sure, they did awful things and I wanted to smack Emet and Eldibus for their hypocrisy at some points. I found their motivations to be more compelling and relatable in the end and to be more entertaining than most other characters, though, even if they ended up having to look silly thanks to memory wipes and time loops.
