By far the weakest out of the Final Fantasy XIV expansions. With more quests than it's predecessor "Heavensward" you would think there would be a lot to unpack, however I found this expansion to be way less impactful or interesting than the previous one. The story suffers from the sheer length of the quests, unable to fill them with enough interesting bits to justify their length. The beginning and post-game drag on for way too long with nothing really happening and expecting you to care. The story does pick up at around the middle to end of the main expansion with some good and memorable characters and great bosses to match. Makes me wish it was like this throughout the entire expansion but I digress. I definitely prefer Stormblood over A Realm Reborn for the side content, dungeons and bosses alone. Definitely not the worst, but could definitely be better.
