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

[Theodric]

At least 6.1 sort of pointed out how messed up it was for the escape plan to basically be a form of eugenics where only the 'right' people would be rescued.

It'd likely never happen, though it would have been hilarious if there was some sort of AU where the people left behind on the Source actually succeeded at defeating Meteion and then demanded that Hydaelyn and those who fled stayed away. I don't doubt that Hydaelyn and those she brought along would screech about it but maybe, just maybe, they'd get a taste of what it feels like to be displaced and replaced.

I think that's something really missing from this game's storytelling. The protagonists are in desperate need of being shown that the very things they're happy to inflict upon others or benefit from having it inflicted upon others are actually pretty messed up and there is no way they would ever accept it happening to themselves.

Remember the Crystal Braves thing? That was a pretty good storyline. Shame we don't get those anymore, lol.

I remember Riol telling the WoL about his suspisions and the WoL just standing there with a vacuous stare as the words go in from one ear and out the other. If they write something like that again, i sincerely hope they put more thought into it.

Bonus thought: make these guys who stayed and succeeded... the remaining Sundered Ascians, doing what their original selves would have done: defending their planet.
