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

[NanaWiloh]

Considering contents of patch story so far, they haven't insisted on anything over 6.1 or 6.2. The story of the ancients is just over and its very likely that the last we'll see of significant and not just passing focus on the ancients will be in 6.4 with last of Pandaemonium. The story arc around them is over. I think closest we'll get to returning to the topic is if they have one of still-surviving sundered Ascians show up in the story at some point, and even if that happens its almost certain the story of the ancients wont be relevant to whatever they'll be involved in. Nobody is 'insisting' nothing wrong happened in the story itself because the story has accepted that and has simply moved on.

Horse is, in fact, deader than the ancients, and likelyhood of them ever being relevant again past the finale of Pandaemonium is close to 0, so any argument about them is, in fact, just kicking the horse further.

I think the hole goes past China all the way to Ultima Thule, looking at this thread's length.
