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

I know I've replied with these words a lot these past few days, but I really don't care. Doesn't matter who founded it, the nation's makeup is its heritage. An empire or a monarchy is not inherently broken, even if the ascians wanted it to fail eventually. The Garlean people can reclaim it for themselves.

Isn’t writing a story without caring about what has come before and doing their own thing what y’all are complaining about the original writers doing though?

At that point may as well just write something up and put it on AO3. Or just make your own story completely detached from FFXIV like how a Twilight AU fan-fic turned into 50 Shades of Grey.

I don't care how minor the history was, I don't care who started it, none of that delegitimizes the fact that it is an empire founded in the north of Ilsabard, and that there is a culture built around that. That is its heritage. Oh no, the empire was started by an ascian, big deal. The Garlean people existed long before the empire. Emet's involvement doesn't mean the people can't reclaim it and prevent it from falling. After all, Ishgard was also founded on a pillar of lies, why do they get to avoid complete self-annihilation?
