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

I think that the story of the ancients actually has a tragic pathos to it. If we could just reverse it because we were so clever and cool, I think that would kill some of it.

I get that you guys liked Emet-Selch and don't want to let him go, I like him too. But he's dead, let that tradegy actually carry some weight.

When that applies to the major protagonists? Sure. Until then, I'll continue to push for the hypocrisy of 'rules for thee but not for me' to be exposed for what it is.

I actually prefer tragic and bittersweet stories, though a key point in that enjoyment is consistency. There's nothing consistent about what the Ancients were forced to endure and when time travel, memory loss and all manner of other strange plot devices are blended together it ceases to be a case of 'tragedy' and more of a bizarre fever dream.

We reverse a ton of things because we're so clever and cool, Tampering no more, G'raha is alive, Eden, Ystolha's constantly being pulled back from primordial soup, bet we'll go save the void too and hell, let's not even stop there and stop the heat death of the universe too.

F the "tragedy carrying weight" I would give anything to be able to bring my Ancient buds back.
