More pointedly a significant number of people were utterly convinced Shadowbringers was going to reveal Hydaelyn to be evil, and have the PC switch sides in the cosmic conflict to become Zodiark's champion instead (if not necessarily join the Ascians)... all because the Crystal Exarch (G'raha) said we'd "become the Warrior of Darkness" in the teaser trailer. Needless to say, none of those things happened and the people who wanted them to were disappointed (though not with Shadowbringers as a whole; and they are some of Endwalker's most vocal critics, but I digress).
Without context an educated guess is next to impossible to make. Personally, I will be very disappointed if it winds up being more Ancient / Ascian crap on account of Endwalker concluding their story and continuing to bring them (or their proxies the Allagans and Garleans) into the forefront would defeat the purpose of having done so.
Just my two cents.
