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

Moment of levity? Wow if only Endwalker wasn't full to the brim with those. Anyway, the star of the moon should have been Zodiark. Not the Loporrits. End of discussion.

The Heavensward moogles may have been a nuisance but they certainly didn't torment us for as long as these rabbits did, and they didn't take the place of someone as crucial to the plot and core of the game as, idk, the main big bad that's been hyped up since 2013?

I sure remember how in FFX once we got to Zanarkand, the party decided to have a sing-along and played bliztball-oh wait instead of that the plot actually stayed serious as was appropriate given the gravity of the situation. Much how it should have in this case considering that the WoL had just killed the being responsible for warding off the final days.

I will admit that Zodiark being just a random throwaway boss was a bit surprising, but I suppose that's kind of the result of Shadowbringers deciding that Elidibus was basically Zodiark and was basically operating a giant meat suit in the shape of a god.

Granted, that just makes me wonder why people worshipped Zodiark instead of Elidibus.

But in this case we didn’t even get to see anything Zodiark themed with Elidibus. Instead they just used him to shill out ff1 WoL fanservice. We didn’t see him really use any darkness themed stuff. It’s always just light light light. Venat got her own solo instance fight and then Hydaelyn trial which was themed around her. Elidibus got random shitty fanservice and then Zodiark is just…a whole bunch of random.
