5.0 is the peak of the game and a really good self-contained story (what wouldn't I give for it to be a single player JRPG on its own).
The 5.1-5.3 patches were good but a bit too fanservicy for my taste, but cool stuff anyways. Patches 5.4-5.5 had some cool/cute moments but the villains were the worse yet so I wasn't very engaged (I hope this isn't a bad omen for Endwalker).
Tears of Werlyt was great and probably the best side story in the game. Eden had interesting lore reveals but I think didn't need to exist as it undermined the whole post climate change world thing the narrative had during the 5.0 MSQ.
