I had very fond memories of this game so I was pretty excited to replay it, unfortunately I found it too lacking to continue playing. The squad system is a neat idea and back then was the coolest thing ever, but other than that this game does not have much going for it other than the fantasy of playing a clone commando. The gameplay gets tiring very, very quick.

i dont think that stormblood is as bad as alot of people say. as a whole it improves GREATLY on gameplay aspects of the game and has the most fun raids and content ive done yet. the story falls short in many places for me. however, it still has some really phenomenal moments and characters. good..just not as good as heavensward was.

i dont have it in me to put how much i love this expansion into words. the plot, the characters, the setting, its all perfect to me. of course the actual gameplay improves even more in stormblood and the expansions beyond (this is why i dont give it a full five stars) but as an independent expansion and story it is, so far, still my favorite. best dragon story.
