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

[CrownySuccubus]

That's an interesting point actually. I mean, whilst I only very recently finished Endwalker it did (for me at least) present a few big "WOW!" moments - the Ragnarok launch for example, the surprise reveal of Zenos coming to our 'rescue'. And I have to confess, the cutscenes leading into the fight with Zenos, with 'Footfalls' playing in the background... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry - the whole thing was a joy to behold.

By the same token, so far as ShB is concerned, the entire sequence with Hades is something I've revisited a few times. I can say with certainty, having seen some reaction videos on Youtube, that I wasn't the only one almost in tears from the part where Ardbert offers the ailing WoL his axe, leading up to Emet-Selch's "Remember that we lived".
And, obviously, HW gave us the clearly much-beloved (and justifiably so) 'Final Steps of Faith'
Heck, even ARR gave us the wrongly accused Scion's dropping out one-by-one to allow the (barely then known as the) Warrior of Light the opportunity to escape.

But SB? I don't really recall any standout moments. I guess the liberation of Ala Mihgo was pretty good but I don't recall anything that gave me that "wow" factor that draws me to revisit cutscenes.

Yeah, most of the "memorable" stuff from SB seems to only be things which are meme-worthy, such as Scholars catching Susanoo's huge sword with their books, Lakshmi's "bosom", and Gosetsu having a whole death monologue and conversation while he struggles to hold up a collapsing building. Even when I was going through every dungeon in the game while leveling all my classes to 80, I could recount exactly why the WOL had to fight in places like the Aery, the AC Research Center, Holminster Switch, Qitana Ravel and Mt. Gulg...but I was scratching my head trying to remember what the purpose of fighting in the Sirensong Sea or Castrum Abania was.

To its credit, I don't think Endwalker is going to have that problem. For all the faults I have with its story, every dungeon was pretty memorable. The Tower of Zot is probably the least of them, but I don't think it'll be possible to forget why you're there.
