Overall I enjoyed Endwalker. It had valuable, meaningful themes (that honestly changed my life for the better), and it did a great job of exploring those themes with the overall vibes of the expansion. That said, the narrative itself feels like it could have used another year of development, as it had a bunch of major plotholes that took me out of the experience at pivotal moments and made the story frequently feel clumsy and contrived. Beyond that, Fandaniel and Zenos simply weren't compelling villains: one is a world-wide school-shooter, the other is a nihilistic sociopath. If there is something worth exploring with those archetypes, Endwalker didn't.

Even with those criticisms, I still think it's one of the better expansions. I had no misconception that Endwalker was going to somehow manage to be as good as Shadowbringers, especially given that Endwalker had the unenviable job of tying together a bunch of messy loose threads.
