That for most people there has been no hype for the story doesn't help.

We will see how this is going to play out once more MMO-like content is finally being released.
As critical as I personally am of parts of the game rn, I do hope the community and FCs will find joy in coming together again soon.
Nothing changed in Endwalker, the game has always been that way. There's never been FC content, you've always had to self-motivate. It sounds totally normal to me for a FC to fall apart after 1-2 expansions. People quit or take breaks during lulls, some of the people who still play leave to try and find more active FCs. It sucks but that's how it is.
