So its kinda of a given that many people would feel that way with post-EW story.

But isnt that kinda the point of it? I mean we already defeated this cosmic being of despair and the story team already discussed that the conflict would be winding down; especially with this story hopefully bridging what we would eventually expect with the start of the new story arc in 7.0. So while its understandable to feel like post-EW isnt that much to run home around (which of course it is) its also kinda stupid to compare it to say the build up in previous post-expansion stories. So far the void story, along with Azdaja is relatively a minor conflict that we just decided to stumble upon. Im just currently interested where they're taking it and see what's the next big thing to come and thats all I need for now with post-EW.
While I do understand that you can still have low stakes and be a great story that is properly paced like 4.2-4.3 with Yotsuyu's arc. I also am just not a fan of what thus far appears to be copy paste FF4 characters/plot in the MSQ, I expect that from side stories but not the main scenario. It just feels like somehow nothing is happening with the big bad's plot and yet we are rushing through everything with Zero at the same time for some reason.
