It stopped being a story with unpredictability and actual stakes. There was a time I felt like anyone was at risk, even “main characters”, and it was awesome. It just turned into more of a Sunday morning cartoon - which is fine - it’s just not for me.
I also got sick and tired of them doing the “guess who’s back from the dead?” plotline a bazillion times.
Like what?

Well, you can add another “dead for good” main character near the end of Shadowbringers.
At the end of Endwalker, you take a jaunt through the aetherial sea (lv 89 dungeon) on the way to see crystal mommy.
The spirits of all your fallen friends (and a few foes) make cameos during combat. It really draws the story arc to a nice close.
