Random observation

I was amazed about what little connection there was from Endwalker to previous plot points.



Wasn't Emet in Shadowbringers an Antagonist who actually did help us? Exactly the opposite of what you claim here? Or what do you mean?



Stormblood focused on the war and had both the Empire aswell as the typical summons. Zenos, the killer everybody seems to love, was introduced there and the main villian front and center. Idk what you need to qualify a "large-scale threat". Does it always need to be something weird that will only be stopped with the power of friendship?



I'm not into WoW. Do you put Heavensward with that Expansion where a dragon reformed the land or do you mean the upcoming dragonflight? Bonus points for the dragon of FFXIV and the shattering being not at all connected.



“You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.” - From the movie "Pi"

I know that all of those stories are different in many more ways than they are similar, I simply found it a fun coincidence that these 4 expansions for WOW and FFXIV share these sometimes pretty key elements specifically in that order for both games.

I suppose I should’ve said cosmic scale threat, and not large scale. That would be the ascians, Meteion, Burning Legion from WOW etc, both Pandaria and Stormblood lack that as focal point for the story.
