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

Yes yes, we get it. You're not interested in anything except European Fairy-Tale Kingdom #74,230.

Yeah, because there isn't anything interesting going on with a bunch of republics who are on the same page on 100% of issues, have nerfed their leaders into submission, and have very little in the way of backbones.

Contrast this with individuals like Clive, Garnet, and so on. One kind actually manages to grab and hold onto people's attention beyond the twitter fandoms that form around characters for inexplicable reasons like Zenos.

Why can we not have a Rosaria, or Sanbreque for 7.0? Why can we not have someone like Clive and say, I'm going to do things *my* way and if you disagree then I'm going in solo? Or character growth arcs and funny interactions like those between Zidane and Garnet?

What on earth is G'raha Tia and Alphinaud supposed to do to keep me entertained in Final Fantasy Australia or the New World? Moralize even more about how oppressed some kangaroo tribe is by the local Meracydians who are hunting them for meat in what is supposed to be an empty wasteland? Cause yet more regime change in the colonies of the New World? These are stories that are going nowhere and doing nothing for people outside twitter, who will somehow find fault in the way the situation is handled regardless of how "careful" they go about it.
