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

Congratulations. You got a villainous Hydaelyn.
You got your Mommy Crystal Genocidaelyn. Your big evil angelic mommy milker crystal of sundering.

Was it worth it?

It might have been if they had actually committed to it, instead of... what we got. I wanted to kick her face in for what she's done, but instead all I got was a friendly little test of my might while I was left to ponder this convoluted and unsatisfying plot as Y'shtola patted her on the back because Dynamis. At least I didn't have to suffer the day 3 DPS queue because it was trust compatible!

I can enjoy villains that are awful people as long as they are fun and entertaining, but there was no fun or entertainment, merely preaching about 'ummm sweaty, this was all for the best, deal with it'.

Along with everyone treating her like a hero, this was her other biggest crime as far as I'm concerned tbh. I could take pre-ShB Emet, Butler Fandaniel clowning around and Nabriales stroking Minfilia's face like a Saturday morning cartoon villain – I'd say I'm pretty easy to please – but even if we consider her something of a villain I just find her boring at it. Come on sis, FLAUNT IT!
