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

[Theodric]

As an aside, it's both amusing - and rather sad - to see some of the usual suspects in certain threads still try to trot out the tired proclamation that anyone who has criticism of Endwalker's handling of its themes and narrative just don't understand the story and didn't pay attention to cut-scenes.

Or they're just a 'minority' who would better suit just shutting up and going away rather than using the forum for its primary intended purpose - submitting feedback.

It's also rather interesting how many of these people only weigh in the moment Venat, specifically, is criticised. Whilst others seem to have been so broken by World of Warcraft that they seem unwilling to admit that the grass isn't actually all that greener elsewhere in an industry that, at present, is rather stagnant.

I reckon if FFXIV were truly one of the best games ever made it wouldn't require such knee-jerk irrational reactions in response to even the slightest bit of polite criticism.

Agreed. It's odd that people would find it necessary to go out of one's way to defend it if it was of a high quality. Surely it would speak for itself, no?

The Sundering was very much an act of deliberate genocide and no amount of screeching or preaching from the protagonists or those that imprinted upon the pretty mother goddess figure is going to change that.

It's a statement of fact, not opinion. If you completely wipe out an entire group of people and then work to obscure any knowledge of their existence and replace them with completely different beings altogether...then that is very much genocide at play.

100%. That's not even something that can be argued against, that's literally the textbook definition of the word genocide.
