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

You are literally buying into the Ascians' nonsense belief that the only life that matters is the Ancients.

From an outside perspective that doesn't allow itself to be biased by either side, Ancient life is more valuable by it's very nature of being complete and unsundered. I can't speak for you, but if I was given the choice to either save the human race or save all of the monkeys on the planet, I'd choose to save the humans. It's a regrettable decision, but the correct one.

Try showing a picture of the Eorzean city-states or the Crystal Tower or Kugane to somebody with no knowledge of Shadowbringers or Endwalker.

Why would it have to be someone who hasn't seen SHB or EW? Surely your argument doesn't rely on your audience's ignorance, does it? Your response to my observation that uses all information available is to say "well what about asking someone who doesn't have all of the available information? I bet they'd agree with me!". Even if they did agree with you, that opinion would be uninformed.

Even if you take the worst possible interpretation of Venat that the text supports, Emet is several orders of magnitude worse.

In the case of a contradiction (such as the one in this game's story), I shall believe what is shown, rather than what is told. If the writers of the story don't like that, they should have written a better story with less contradictions.
