He's basically saying here that someone in the future is going to go, and that presumably was to be Endwalker, considering its literally the end of the world, yet none of that happened.
Yoshi-P has said a lot of things that never ended up happening. Which adds to my feeling that people haven’t been paying attention. If all of his hints and forecasting were truth then we’d have summonable primals in PvP and separate personal housing. It’s possible that there were other plans for the characters, but as I said before, that ship sailed in 5.0 imo and while a whole other expansion in between could have changed things, that’s not the route they took and it’s obvious there were changes made to the direction they decided to go. Which in retrospect makes sense, at least to me.

Endwalker was dark and about sacrifice and so on, but from a meta level, you don’t kill off the main characters of your franchise at the climax of your living story. The story of FFXIV for better or worse leans on these characters now and there’s not a chance in hell they’d end it all on “welp, just me and Tataru now”. Endwalker wasn’t a self-contained story and you need to look at the bigger picture. Would you have expected the game to run off into uncharted territory without the main cast or limping on with just a few?
