Same, it's hard to build expectations, but I also felt a little bit of that with Endwalker's impending release. "Oh, so we go to the moon now?" when the moon was barely before the halfway point.

One thing that can help is if they can invent methods of moving beyond power scaling. The Endsinger's potential was mostly dictated by "despair for the future", which is such a vague concept they could likely invent new such challenges without explicitly saying "This thing is stronger than the last thing you fought". It's already hard to claim that the cattle at the far edge of Thavnair are stronger than Hades.

Yeah, or somehow nerf the WoL to not be so powerful and make them regain their strength or something. But the way EW played out and how the story was presented, it just feels to me like nothing back on Eorzia, even unexplored lands, could pose a serious threat to us anymore. Yeah, some things were vague enough to kinda work it out from there, but still, being a sundered spirit of an ancient and getting stronger every time, it's kinda becoming meh, at least to me. The pacing of it all is just way too fast imo.
