My time with Stormblood (MSQ) wasn't bad. There's a lot of good stuff in there, but I also can't help but feel like the game is afraid to actually let you get invested in the story. It feels like every time there's something new or fun going on the game's like "Now wait just a minute, I need you to go and do fuck-off boring task for a while, just in case you were starting to get invested in the story" (fuck-off boring things include but aren't limited to: run around this town to find a captain who will take you somewhere and at one point literally collecting actual shit). I suppose that stuff is in there so that the game doesn't Skip over anything or to break up the pacing, but the pacing already feels pretty glacial so including it feels like the Square Enix team just wanted to waste my time.

All things considered though I liked the Doman part of this expansion, especially it's areas, and I had a good time with it's dungeons and overarching story. Looking forward to what comes next.
