This is a step down from Heavensward. I think that the new zones, the story, the music, the characters are not as good as HW. There are still some really good content, but my biggest gripe is the story. Rebels vs Imperials stories are not my favorite thing. We saw that a lot already in ARR, and with Stormblood we get to see it twice in the same DLC. It's a lot of the same thing.
