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

On another note, I wonder what made the writers have the Watcher be a faceless construct-creation and not an actual Unsundered character. If the three ascians could escape through a little crack, this 'researcher friend' of Venat's who could have perhaps been a strong mage who was in the know about some things could have similarly escaped and then agreed to a long lonely 12k year vigil for the sake of the planet. Would've been interesting to see how a flesh-and-blood person would react to all of this and what their thoughts were, while being neutral/skewing toward Hydaelyn.

Don't think it would have gone against the 'muh themes' hard to have a not-FuSoYa hanging out on the moon, while also still throwing Ancient fans a little bone. His goals would shift from watching Zodiark, to watching over Etheirys now that the Sundered inherited it. Also I could teleport over, /hug him at any time, and go "Thank you for surviving everything".

Also, I stand by liking the loporrits even if there was a bit too much attention on them that could've gone elsewhere... like on Zodiark himself. I don't know how horrendous their EN voices were, but their JP ones were adorable.

Nothingway ranks up there with the Ea lying flat by the pond, the Plentyperson choosing death and Shinryu-Zenos just arriving in Ultima Thule and having already had enough with Meteion drawing breath on the great scale of Endwalker character relatability.

Guess we'll just hang around until the world ends again then, whoop dee doo
