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

[Nayukhuut]

Aye, and it does stand to reason that, even if it were not for a few of our lifetimes (or perhaps sooner since what you said does ring a bell I can't place), Zodiark's aether and power would have needed replenishing eventually. Especially since Meteion's attacks were relentless. Atrophy sucks. Him as a long term solution was never really a good idea. Especially since he was put there to fix the symptoms of a problem no one knew the answers to. Though installing the Twelve in as a prayer battery to stop the worlds smushing back together is just as awful, honestly. What happens when we stop believing in gods?

The story was sadly a mess. In the end I just hate feeling like a hypocrite. I now feel that, instead of going out and leading by example, I am just parroting ideals I am completely willing to throw to the wall. I hate it.
