Endwalker's message (spoilers!)

[astercantus]

Did the message of Endwalker really resonate with anyone else? I completed the MSQ a couple of days ago, but I'm still not over the questions it asked and the answers it delivered. I'm not sure if the writers had the fallout of COVID in mind when they wrote the MSQ, but it felt like a clarion call to find hope and meaning in a time of uncertainty, loss and suffering. Meteion's final lines about finding little pieces of happiness, losing them, and repeating the cycle until gentle death (and that's totally fine, because that's what living is) brought tears to my eyes...

Overall, while I was surprisingly less emotional at many points of Endwalker as compared to Shadowbringers, I think its beautiful message is deeply engraved into my heart and I won't forget it any time soon!
