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

Hmm...
The story was pretty good up until the time travel stuff, in my opinion. Time travel in stories like this always end up being full of plot holes and contrivances and the same proved true here. I especially disliked that the big bad was suddenly introduced half way and then defeated at the end. Felt very anti-climatic for the supposed end of the Ascian arc or whatever.

Though the end fight with Zenos was pretty rad.

At this point I'm really only subscribed to use the game as a chatroom. Heck I didn't even do the 6.3 story until a couple of weeks after because it just didn't seem like it would amount to much (and it didn't)

This. Time loops suck balls. It only worked in the Alexander raids because it was self contained. To intentionally merc your own people to preserve a time loop? Pretty frickin' stupid.
