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

Oh yeah i get that for sure. I’m just tired of people acting like it makes soooo much sense and if it doesn’t make sense to you you’re just not paying attention. The whole entirety of the Elpis plot is just poorly done. They should’ve just had us explore via the echo rather than actually going there. Because as it is, there’s a massive plot crater in that we know the echo can show others our memory, so Venat could’ve done that. There’s also the kind of….really messed up problem of pandaemonium, where were expected to just hang around these ancients and pretend like they aren’t all going to be murdered soon.

Well to some of us it does make sense. I doubt many of us are just "acting". I wouldn't tell anyone they weren't paying attention. Some of us by nature just absorb it differently.

Also I'd say Pandemonium is a bit to early to call as well still don't know how that links to the current day were in. I'd like to wait n see that unfold. I'm just happy Elidibus is a center piece

Yeah, we don't know enough about the raid quite yet. I'm hoping it gets better because while the bosses themselves are neat looking and mostly fun to fight, the story just isn't there yet. They could end up surprising us with how it all comes together later, but they also might not. But yeah, we'll have to see. It's not a bad start, but I'm not sold on it just yet. The final boss theme tells a bit of the story itself I think. Based on the lyrics to Hic Svnt Leones it has the potential to be very interesting. It was the same deal with Alexander's boss theme Locus back in the day. Basically told the entire story of the raid, though not in great enough detail to give it all away.
