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

[kpxmanifesto]

What exactly was the statement he made that gave him this reputation?

During the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXVIII, Yoshi P just seemed kind of unprepared to answer the fans' questions about EW's lore. He'd make comments like "I didn't actually imagine anybody would ask this" (3:40:57) or "wow you guys are paying close attention to this game!" (3:45:55). Like, dude this game is renowned for its story. Why is he so surprised that fans are looking for closure and want to ask questions that tie up loose ends?

He also couldn't answer basic questions about FFXIV's timeline, like how long has it been since 1.0 - "As far as the actual story is concerned, I don't really have an exact figure in mind or an exact imagining of how long it has been since 1.0 (3:49:20).

He would also deflect some of the questions by saying things like "when you're making this world you'll just sort of sometimes ignore things that are inconvenient" (4:25:35) and "I think you guys can come up with your own theories for this one" (4:08:49).

Overall, it just wasn't a very satisfying Q and A session for people either seeking answers to unresolved storylines or trying to fill plot holes.
