Endwalker Story sucked and it's time to admit it

[WellGramarye]

If that's your response to my bolded text then you have not read my bolded text.

I did not say, and have never said, that the dead WoL from the 8UE timeline went to Elpis. On the contrary, I specifically said our living WoL. The one we play in Endwalker.

It only doesn't compute because you're trying to place my explanation onto your completely different diagram of events where for some reason (you still haven't explained) you've decided it is necessary to start the timeline over from scratch instead of only developing a second stream from Stormblood onwards.

My explanation does not work on your two parallel lines, and I cannot personally see the sense in that model.

So, yes, the time travel does not work if you insist on your model. That's why I'm attempting to explain a different model where it does work.

Firstly.
If the WoL is dead, they can't go to Elpis. Can we agree on this?

Secondly.
If the WoL doesn't go to Elpis. The sundering still happens.

Disagreeing with this, means you are advocating a paradox. If the WoL doesn't go to Elpis, then how does the Sundering happen, which creates the WoL in the first place. This is a paradox. The paradox means that the 8UC can't happen.

So you have a choice. 8UC doesn't exist, or paradox doesn't exist.

Aside: bolded stuff made me giggle. Shroedingers WoL.
