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

Apparently having us waste time with rabbits on the moon or hopping around as frogs in Sharlayan was considered a better use of time and budget than Garlean civil war scenes.

Ok, I too was also for a Garlean expansion, but c'mon. One sidequest as a frog, and a comical relief race exactly like the Moogles in HW, or the Namazu in SB, or the Pixies in ShB was the breaking point?

The Pixies in Shadowbringers did not outstay their welcome the way the Loporrits did. The Moogles and Namazu also did not proceed to waste our time with the worst filler arc since the trolley quests in Shadowbringers.

Comical relief is nice when appropriate. For an expansion marketed as "oh no it's the end of the world!" there was way too much of it.
