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

[KageTokage]

People inherently have higher expectations from the finale of a story. I'm probably not as disappointed as some others because I had no faith they could tie up all of the loose ends remaining in the space of an expansion without leaving something feeling half-baked and/or unsatisfying.

In that sense Shadowbringers being fairly self-contained worked to its benefit, but I still ended up feeling much better about saving the First then the entire bloody Source somehow. Perhaps if the Final Days had escalated to a point where things felt genuinely dire it would've given me more of a sense of relief then purging the light from the skies for good...though there was that whole additional stress factor of "About to turn into a lightwarden and doom the shard if not the Source as well".

I felt really dug into the finale of 5.0 compared to 6.0 whereas I was just kind of...indifferent when I reached Ultima Thule.
