I do still maintain that this discussion is, ultimately, pointless though - the thread was clearly created to discuss the story that the Omicron quest chain and managed to derail into yet another discussion about Endwalker as a whole. There are already numerous threads (one with a post count in the 700+ range) to discuss that and, personally, I'm tired of how consistently threads created to discuss X end up as Endwalker/Hydaelyn genocide/how much the writing sucks soapboxes lately.
Oh, my message was not towards you. And I completely agree that every thread being derailed towards the same complaints is tiring (and I read most if not all posts from that gigantic thread. Gigantic but more than half the pages there are the same old posters with the same old opinion, but I digress). Unfortunately this topic was doomed to go that way I mean, if you look at who the OP is and how inflamatory the first post and even title was formulated, this thread was not going to be a civilised discussion about the Omicron quests. If you go back to the first page you see the usual suspects with the usual complaints ("story is for children", 'Yoshi P is ruining FFXIV', 'who is this story for???!!!11'). So what happened next was only natural.
