That's a really good way of explaining it. Opinions on Endwalker are all over the map, from love, to hate, to everywhere in between. The story has a lot of things to say about a lot of subjects, but how much you actually like the answers and (possibly even more importantly) how believable you find the answers, will vary widely depending on personal taste.
