An Ending to Mark a New Beginning (spoilers)

Additionally it's the most underwhelming mystery ever. "Surprise, I'm not who I said I was, although you may have never met the other person I was pretending to be and everyone else had worked it out anyway. Now I get a costume change but that's about it."

It sets up the whole "stop living in my sister's shadow(and father's) shadow to be my own person tropes. I wouldn't say it's underwhelming.

It also sets her up to become something that's not a joke character, which she needs to be for Stormblood. Is this the only way they could've done that? No, absolutely not, but I don't really have problems with it.

Yda couldn't have possibly carried the amount of Stormblood she needed to in the form she was in ARR.

I'm sorry, I've been playing for like 45 minutes since that scene, I must've missed it. I'm studying for an important exam in this period so my attention spam it's kinda low. Do you remember where they said that she was not really Yda?

ANd yeah, this is not a particularly subtle moment in the story; ten minutes was an exaggeration borne of not having played this recently, but I've checked, and it's four quests afterwards. I thought it was one quest afterwards, but that's largely because the events of 3.55 get a bit muddled when you're looking back at the story beats in retrospect.
