Much like Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, Stormblood is a tale of two countries, with revolutions taking place in both. Problem is, Dickens is a better writer than whoever fuckin wrote the Ala Mhigan half of Stormblood, and Dickens is most certainly a better narrator than the focal point of all of Stormblood's problems : Lyse.
The Doman half of Stormblood constantly has to rush to squeeze the Ala Mhigan half of it, which means not even the good parts of Stormblood get enough time to get fleshed out and breathe. Not even the excellent raids and trials, possibly some of the best XIV has to offer, could help counteract the sour taste left in my mouth by some of the most baffling writing decisions I have seen in a role playing game.
