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

Apologies for the poor wording of my statement. I didn't intend for it to come across as belittling. I also know better that there are people who loved every moment of it at the time who came to think differently about it later, like Kage. I got caught up in my own emotions re-watching those scenes with streamers and being disappointed at their reactions. I hated going through it the first time and seeing them again just brings all that negativity back to the surface.

Edit: I think I got spoiled with Zepla. Hers was the first playthrough I watched and, like I said, she was angry at the end of Elpis. I didn't think her reaction, as a primary FFXIV streamer who seems to love everything about the game, would end up being the odd one out of the bunch.
