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

The absurd attempt at being condescending in the rest of your post killing your credibility aside, the part I'm quoting here makes even less sense. The entire point of the "test" is that we wanted to use the ship meant to ferry people and supplies to the Moon to go after Meteion instead. Meaning if we went after Meteion and failed, then everyone would die because the option of using the Moon to escape would be gone. Hydaelyn gave us the test because if we failed it, she wasn't going to let us use the ship to reach Meteion, meaning it would be used to evacuate as many people from the planet to the Moon as possible. The "test" was so people wouldn't die in the event we weren't prepared to fight Meteion.

No, I don't think so. Doesn't matter how I say it, being condescending is what I'm left with because to use an Eara excuse I'm frankly fed up with the lunacy on this forum and am likely gonna be snippy from now on. Ignore my points if you wish, they honestly weren't for you anyway. Frankly, if one has to resort to dismissing what I have to say outright because I didn't say it courteously enough for your fragile maiden heart then you do so because you have no true worthwhile counterpoint.

Also, you've got the purpose of the "test" quite literally backwards as if we failed we would be shoved onto the Murder-Moon 9000 and delivered gift-wrapped directly into Meteion's waiting ebon wings. The Meteia are quite literally looking down upon the Star like kids with their faces pressed against the glass of a gumball machine at that point in the narrative, and if we ferried ourselves off the Star and out of Zodiark's protective aether barrier we'd be quite literally walking directly onto lava so to speak. I legitimately don't understand how people miss this, the Moon plan is quite literally doomed to fail because the moment anybody leaves the Star they get hit by the full force of Meteion's Black Dynamis and turn into a Blasphemy and die. Full stop, no exceptions. You really think the handful of Eorzeans permitted onto the Moon (remember the vast majority of the Source's inhabitants plus all the denizens of every Shard were gonna get abandoned) are at all likely to be non-susceptible to the Despair she brings, especially since in 6.1 we discovered it was completely random?!

Nah, I don't think so.
