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

[Lauront]

Hytholodeus said that the others sat in Amaurot while the seat of Azem's role was to wander the world as the traveler and help people. Even if the others visited, that wasn't their main purpose and didn't do it to the same extent. The people Emet-Selch helped were from when he was Hades and before he was on the Convocation and we have no further insight into it except that it was "people the world over" but mostly Azem.

Sure, but again, that's just from the point of view of the seat's duties. I agree with the rest but to me it's a big so what, especially since all Convocation members had lives that may have taken them all over the star before their ascent, and in some cases, they may well have done travelling in addition to their other duties. If anything, all the traits Emet is praising her for meant she had all the more to live up to and her inability or unwillingness to relay the truth to her people is all the worse for it.

I only hope at this point they keep the PC Azem distant from her and don't have them partake of her plans to sunder the world, as that will be the final nail in the coffin for me. I don't want them to have anything to do with it.

Uh, lets give people their choices shall we? 14's story is but one of many problems. The game's gameplay has been incredibly lacking and the healer role has been ignored for 6+ years. Personally i am excitingly waiting for Ashes as it seems to be offering everything ive ever wanted in an mmo. As for story or lore im going to assume you havent looked much into the game because its very rich in lore so far from what we can see. Its similar to the Souls franchise however where they dont seem to give you explicit answers on things, its up to you to search and put the puzzle pieces together yourself and come to lore conclusions.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Can't say the story direction of this game enthuses me much. I'm not sure what it is exactly I would be missing out on from hopping over to Ashes at this point.

Thank you for articulating in words my shared hatred of this particular headcanon.
