>>25349717>implying I needed a story to keep goingThere's a big difference between being given the choice to do other things and not taking it, and not being given the choice to do anything at all. I didn't like the main story because there was no freedom to go out and explore the world besides the days when you're allowed to. This could've easily been remedied by having the story take place around the world, but it fails on that by mostly taking place on the Water Continent.
And I don't hate the postgame story for being short, I hate it for being extremely lackluster compared to Explorers and for constantly reminding me about Super's god-awful ending.
