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

[Lauront]

Her philosophy is fine and I agree with it to an extent (although I think part of what the story shows is a failure of imagination in some of the caricature Dead End worlds), but it's just words on paper at the end of the day, that will be forgotten in time and isn't even embraced by the Scions, who aim to minimise suffering and spread peace in their own right.

I also don't like how hamfisted some of the "themes" are. The caricature worlds, constantly repeating the same point in completely different contexts which as a result rings hollow to me given how the metaphysics of the setting are set up, the fact that the sundered as a whole are even less fit to endure this version of the Final Days (because their souls will be consumed whole) so it's mainly just a select few, with plenty of help, who actually overcome the test (meanwhile we saw how Emet-Selch and Elidibus were capable of enduring for 12k years to pursue their goal so the idea that they lack resilience is just silly), her excuses not to reveal it all to the ancients, the time travel to force that (probably my biggest issue with it all) etc.

It's just not great in my eyes. There's ways to make a point and this expansion was lacking in all subtlety.
