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

I have no idea what game you were playing because this isnt true at all.

The second you enter Disc 3, Freya's role in the story basically dries up and she never grows as a character again. Amarant and Quina never grow to begin with, and while Eiko basically moves the plot along, she doesn't get much development either. They dropped the ball completely with them. Which is sad because Disc 1 and Disc 2 were really good story up to that point. I love the way the world looks, love how unique it is, love the designs...but dear god they fumbled the rest of the story the second you hit Disc 3.

Eiko does get her development though. Accepting she's not going to get anything from her crush on Zidane is one of the first things that she goes through in Disc 3. She also pretty much becomes Garnet's sister and ends up finding a new family in Cid and Hilda.
