I cannot believe that this is the one people have said is the "worst expansion" for years while saying how amazing Heavensward is. Heavensward isn't bad but I feel like people who say this don't remember how fucking badly paced that expansion is while saying this one has tons of filler. I played through both back to back in the span of 2 months so Heavensward and Stormblood are fresh in my mind.
They are structured the exact same but at least in Stormblood it has the narrative context of "we have to convince these oppressed, defensive people who don't want anything to do with us to join our rebellion war effort." So spending your time in the Ruby Sea or The Azimm Steppe don't feel as pointless even if their stories are easily the weakest part. In Heavensward the interesting main story gets completely sidetracked to spend hours on moogle mountain to help them find their sandwich they left on a rock a few miles away and other stupid bullshit like that. While the cataclysm is about to happen. Sorry Estinien, Aymric and everyone else in the ishgard I gotta go fuck around with goblins for 8 hours I can't possibly go fight nidhogg or talk to hysvelgr the moogles NEED ME.
Stormbloods biggest pace breaker is when Krile gets captured and it seems like we are going to save her but then you have to go fight the snake people's primal for some reason. Thankfully this only take 30 minutes but still very odd that they keep strcuturing their stories like this. I wish they would stop its very annoying. But seeing how ff16 does the same thing i guess i should just accept this is their writing style and that the next 3 expansions will be like that too

Fuck generic looking 7th gen brown shooters/open world games, all my homies hate generic looking 7th gen brown shooters/open world games
"Infinite Wealth" is such a powerful title. I really wished that this game lived up to that name

A game that actually knows how to write teenage characters without it seeming forced or like 40 year olds were pretending to be cool. A fantastic sci-fi mystery with a tinge of horror mixed with some fantastic conversational mechanics. A 10/10 must play
Albedo ima be honest that gameplay stanky, but you roll the best joints ong ong.
Did not finish it yet but man that's more than enough to give it a 5/5.
Just finished door 7, I don't cry from TV/games, but this killed the shit out of me. I basically felt like I am Michel for a moment, it truly hurt so bad, and then reconstructed me back on my feet. I don't how it manages to do that and I don't think anything has ever impacted me on such a personal level
Edit:
This literally surpassed AOT which I had a huge humongous bias for, for years. idk it's not something to take lightly I never thought this would happen tbh
