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

[SpectrePhantasia]

Being divorced form original context does not change the fact that a ritual or ideal still exists. Especially for an abstract concept such as a "soul". My original point was that much of the world does not think of a "soul" the same way that Western, Judeo-Christian people think of it. Even if we ignore Japan entirely, there are LOTS of different cultural understandings on what means to have, lose or create a "soul".

My friend, I am not denying that it exists, I am denying that it holds significance in this case to the writing decisions, something which you cannot prove with absolution. If nothing else though, I ask that you not be so transparently rude to people who very clearly mean no offense and are trying to engage you on the discussion in good-faith.
