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

I disagree on the time travel and clamping down. If i would be shown evidence in game, the MSQ preverably, that contradicts my assumptions about how the time travel works, i am completely willing to change my view. My whole point of view of it is made by what i see as the most logical conclusion to the vague (sometimes implied) rules i have been given by the game. It is very much possible i am completely wrong with what the writers intended.

This is why I made the statement about people not being open minded, because it did not come across to me as though the "critical camp" of the timeline element in EW had any interest in entertaining other possibilities, but were more interested in pushing "Venat is genocidal" for shock value. I still have issues with labeling it genocidal because it's not exactly clear what Venat may have done in the past to work against Meteion, the abstraction shows that the pro Zodiark crowd was unwilling to change course, Venat herself says there was no alternative (could she have injurd Zodiark without sundering? it is unclear), and they were on a very short timetable as people were already dying. Even further than that, Venat solving problems in the past could possibly eliminate all life on the reflections by avoiding the sundering, which is also genocide and breaks the game. As such, the OP suggestion is also genocide, so it's a hypocritical solution, and I did not think people were talking about genocide were taking it seriously based on this. I would also note the way people are using the definition without regard to circumstance in general-- this idea that "well a large group was killed, so, genocide". If someone slips and falls onto a nuclear button and launches a nuclear assault on a large nation, are they genocidal? I would argue they're not. Yes it is a given Venat did not slip and fall onto the sundering nor was she completely ignorant of what she was doing, but it's not clear how much she knew what she was doing either and what other options she had available. That's why I am not willing to say anything other than "perhaps she was genocidal"-- I don't have enough information.

And again even if she knew exactly what was doing with the sundering and how it would create a devastated world of death where everyone was 1/12 of themselves, how is eliminating the future a solution to that problem?
