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

[Misplaced_Marbles]

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.
