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

There is no need to introduce a cast of characters to replace the Scions. One of the staples of being the/a Warrior of Light in Final Fantasy as a whole has been wandering, and this has typically been done with no or very few allies until such time as they were needed. It's also rather common for Final Fantasy protagonists to group with different people at different times, oft times finding new companions (and parting ways with old ones) as they reach new areas. Those companions needn't be fleshed out beyond merely being given interesting personalities and perhaps a bit of backstory to discover along the way. They are, after all, temporary.

It's fine for the Scions to pop up from time to time, but there's zero reason to have them be there every single time. Let the WoL strike out on their own for a while or something. It would be a nice change. Etheirys has a vast amount of land yet unexplored by the Warrior of Light. It's time for the devs to embrace the title they gave the game's protagonist, by having them step out on their own in search of new adventures.
