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

False.

Not false. You fiercely argued for single timeline theory and you don't like that now it is confirmed, I'm pointing out problems it creates with regards to the whining in the thread about justifying Venat. It doesn't make it impossible, but they opted for time theory here that makes it complicated to address and can barely offer solid reasoning for why our single timeline didn't diverge.

I think it's childish to assume the writers either wouldn't believe that Venat's actions would constitute genocide or that they would condone that action. But that's the point, the story is not that deep, the writers didn't think about it that much (also incidentally a Yoshi-P quote: "We didn't think players would think about it that deeply" with regards to the Elpis timeloop). And they show their hand constantly in the story, disengaging you and yanking you out of a state of immersion.

Exactly.
