We talked to a total of three or four people out of what the game tells us is at least thousands. I'm sure the Ascians could've found a couple sundered who would be cool with the rejoining too.

There were just so many better ways to handle the last zone, even if you came to the same ultimate conclusion, and the writer opted to take none of them. They tried to force feed us an answer (which is an issue most of DT has tbh) instead of actually exploring the question.
I question if these writers even bothered playing the MSQ at this point. It feels like they were just given cliff notes of what makes a "FFXIV MSQ per Expansion" and just followed those, but you know in a way that could only be done by somebody incompetent.
