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

My friend, all I'm offering is a different lens from which to view aspects of the story.

You know, if that's all you're doing, that's more than fair then, I apologize for misinterpreting you. But if I may offer the smallest criticism, it sounded pretty definitive. I understand though, that intent doesn't carry through text as easily as it does a vocal conversation.

Anyway, looking at it that way does give its own insights as to how the game approaches souls, but you gotta admit, FFXIV at this point is a blend of so much stuff, its kind of hard to see what inspiration is from where at times...
