The Worst Part of Endwalker

[Lauront]

The worst part of the story to me was the bizarre insistence that genocide is acceptable and necessary so long as it benefits the protagonists directly.

Exactly this. The way the stuff on the moon was handled (including Zodiark), the post-Elpis pity-me cutscene that failed to properly depict the Sundering (instead left to some Nier crossover), the extremely caricatured alien words, bizarre messaging and the apologetics for her that had characters bending over backwards and leaking out their brains to justify what she did that then necessitated a Q&A for clarification and remedial quest via Omega? Plus the exceedingly lame end boss? I could do without all that.

No worries bro. There's a giant thread about this very topic. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...y-in-Endwalker

You should brace yourself if you're gonna go there though.
