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

[Supersnow845]

The barrier was never failing. The only reason it failed at all is because we literally murdered Zodiark. What was failing was Venat's hold on Zodiark. The barrier that he himself put into place was just dandy though. In fact, his power was getting stronger as he became more and more whole. He would have kept his barrier going for a while yet. The problem was that no one but Venat knew what was causing the problem to begin with. The Ascians were fighting for their world, but still had no idea what was attacking them.

Are you sure, honestly this conversation has made me realise I probably should have gone through the story again before commenting (my bad), but I would have bet money on the fact that somewhere along the way someone said that the song of despair was eating away at zodiarks barrier and even him gaining power back from the rejoining’s wasn’t slowing down the degradation of the barrier

But yes I agree, I probably phrased it badly but from old (wrong) interpretation I never thought venat was good, just kinda the best of a suite of bad alternatives
