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

[Stachiko]

This is the end to our whole "Chosen by Hydalyn" arc... so a symbolic death of our character might have been interesting somehow.

I half expected everything to fall to absolute sheit and Hydaelyn say something along the lines of "Maybe 300th time is the charm" I'm glad they didn't go that route.

I do like your example though. You pay the ultimate sacrifice to end everything. It'd be cool to watch a [game redacted] type scene where the main character dies and the scions work to bring you back. It's cliché but I'd take it over all the barriers Endwalker thrashed through.

I wouldn't mind if you die in the past to prevent it all from happening. Then everything Endwalker- is a historical time loop, and the next expansion lets them start all over with familiar faces.
