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

"Such strength of will... Now I know what Hydaelyn sees in your kind.
Mankind, the Loporrits─we were both born from the accumulated knowledge of the ancients.
They learned all there is to learn about the nature of sentient life and the fates of the stars themselves.
Once a civilization has fulfilled the basic requirements for survival, it will inevitably seek to eliminate all forms of negativity and achieve perfection.
And therein lies its folly...and its downfall.
For perfection is an unattainable ideal. 'Tis the paradox of the immaculate carrot.
Yet civilizations since time immemorial have deemed the pursuit of perfection as “progress.” They pay no heed to the costs incurred in their futile quest, and all too often become the architects of their own demise, their dreams forever unfulfilled.
What, then, is the alternative? The answer lies in knowing that our existence can never be perfect. To be content with what we have and make the most of it.
When life gives you lemons, make lemon muffins!"

Can't make a lemon muffin without cracking a few Ancients.

I, too, enjoyed having a funny moon rabbit practically break the fourth wall to preach to me.

Also do you have some issue with death? Do you hate that things die and dont magically live forever in happy go lucky world?

Try suggesting this to a Scion fan. :^)

And the fact that you can induce an existential crisis in the Writers by simply not seeing it the way they want you to, no matter how much the same puerile message is vomited out at you. :`) How can this be, such brilliant writing! Pearls before swine, I tell you.

Idk what game you have been playing, but this game has been preaching hope, and kindness, and friendship, and the power of love since ARR from children to dragons to beastmen to bunnies.

...and back in the days of ARR and HW, it was tempered by healthy levels of grit, realism and consequences.
