They literally just had to not make the Ancient society perfect and there wouldn't be so many holes. This is the problem when you make a ancient advanced civilization but most of the time they're long gone at the current point in the story. When you make them literally all God in some way, you'd need to come up with the absolute best possible way to undo them and not half ass it like EW did. They could say that the new lives they were creating were thinning out the life stream and required more and more aether to create, which would eventually reduce the star to the crumble that is The Plenty but they're on dead chunks of rock floating in space. Like if events were happening that were strongly hinting towards that, and despite their best efforts could not find a reasonable way to Meteion, and was proven beyond any doubt, and all this after Venat fully explained what was going to happen, then and only then would the Sundering have been acceptable. Then and only then could we move on. Then and only then would there we some semblance of closure. Hell, you could say they lost their memory because of the Sundering instead of "haha Greek words go brrrr". But Yoshi's obsession with keeping XIV what he wants has harmed this game far more than it should have while what he personally likes remains good. If the Ancients aren't perfect in his eyes, how is Yoshi any better? Yes he saved XIV. Big deal, those days are over. That's like saying NFTlodeon is a good channel because they had Rocko's Modern Life on it in the 90s. Not anymore.

I'm grateful for everything XIV has given me, truly I am. I met some wonderful people from my FC at PAX. I engaged in content I would otherwise never do (RIP HOH at 92, killed by Heavenly Gozus who decided "Your free trial of progress has expired"). I have developed patience for annoying grinds in other mmos. I have the Black Pegasus. But this direction of game and story, it's not for anyone who wants a deep, rich lore. It's also not for people who want to improve themselves either, just look at the Duty Finder thread for details.

I'm going to bed. I have so much crap to do at work for the next two weeks and I need some semblance of mental stability. Just needed to say this, probably won't remember most of it, late night post and all. I spent too long editing this.
