Is everyone just blinded by furry thirst that no one is questioning the fact that we're going to fighting to put Wuk Lamat, a complete stranger, on the throne of a foreign country we know nothing about? The whole thing feels strange and forced and G'raha telling me I can just slip away if I'm not interested in supporting her at the end doesn't fill me with confidence because FFXIV is not a game where that level of story choice is a thing. We're basically agreeing to help the first person who asked, not the best person for the job. And the fact that politics are involved makes the whole adventure feel a bit grimey to me.

The epilogue actually explains the real reason for WoL going to Tural and that is...

the final words from Emet still lingers in his/her mind so when the Golden City was mentioned, the WoL had already decided to go to Tural.

WoL wanting to be involved with the politics or not on a emotional level in Tural is more just personal dialogue choice since going to Tural was already a personal thing due to the Bucket list that Emet left WoL.

The two "other" locations that WoL has in his/her head when remembering Emet's final words are either going to be side content for next expansion or future expansions OR potentially the focus for each new expansion individually.

Speaking of that....

I feel like they may have setting up a Thancred Boss fight for the next expansion MSQ as a Story instance fight
