Heavensward was blessed with having the best patches so far. Instead of starting a new story or completely focusing on what's to come in Stormblood. It continues the plot started in heavensward, only a part of the conflict was resolved in 3.0 .
At this point the MSQ felt genuinely really busy with a lot of different threads and side plots going on at once and it was a really nice feeling. To me, 3.3 represents how strong XIV's slow storytelling can be and how well it can pay off. They build up and had this moment. It slowly shows you the ripples of the conflict through every avenue.
So far every expansions .1 to .5 patches have not been able to be as consistently high and engaging as these patches were.
