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

I assumed it was one of those anime moments where she used every ounce of her strength to accelerate and the moment she stopped to do something else she would lose her. My issue is why didn't they just delete the giant memory erasing analog clock to prevent said mcguffin from making a convenient excuse of why no one remembers anything and why we, the player, were not even given a hint of these events in the last 10 years, lol. I would have figured Emet would just blow the stupid thing up and tell the conclave.

Or she could have just used yknow, the echo, that huge plot relevant thing that we’re specifically told there can be used to show others memories.

I also find it odd that we apparently spoke our recollection rather than they all just use the echo to see our memories and we see what that looks like from the outside perspective for a change. Takes like 2 seconds then we continue the conversation. Nah let's talk and fade to black.

Every day I think about this expansion it somehow manages to fall apart even more.

Then how would they showcase their animated steaming tea that goes cold because we are talking so long that everyone has forgotten to drink it?

Emet-Selch: This is preposterous! I would never become a megalomaniacal murderer like that!
Hythlodaeus: Perhaps we should view his/her/their memories firsthand?
Emet-Selch: Why would I want to do that?

Seriously though, I was disappointed that we went to Elpis and didn't get any training on how to further control the Echo. How cool would it be if we were able to use it on a more conscious basis?

Oof, fair. That would indeed be a tragic loss.

The one thing I've been wanting since ARR. "Can someone tell me how to control this damn thing? I'm tired of passing out randomly!"

Back in 1.0, there were points where the game would ask you, "Use the power of the Echo?" [Yes/No] in order to progress in the plot. They decided to do away with that when 2.0 launched. They could always nerf the sundered version of it by having the aether conditions be just right for the Echo to be used.

The echo? That thing unfortunately fell through a plot hole and was never seen again.

*uses echo to show it falling*
