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

[ApolloGenX]

It kind of would have been cooler that instead of everyone else pointlessly dying- we died.

Maybe they could have brought us back in the end...but it would have been interesting for once to watch an encounter as a spirit with the Scions fighting and us giving them Aetheric support somehow.... and maybe Azems crystal shattering and us coming back, or who knows? (Isn't that the point? We cheer them on and keep them from losing hope?- Maybe Metion could even bring us back)

This is the end to our whole "Chosen by Hydalyn" arc... so a symbolic death of our character might have been interesting somehow. It also shows how we didn't do it alone. Could have also been a cool ending fight cinematic. Plus it reminds me of the line from Answers:

In the same fleeting moment thou must live, die and know
