Stormblood is by far the most fun that I have had with Final Fantasy 14 so far. I found myself particularly engaged with the story this time - I like stories about revolution, and I found this one particularly compelling in it's portrayal. Doing a cool pincer attack by doing a double revolution is really fuckin' cool and I like the way the characters discuss nationhood, revolution, how it relates to identity and what leads people to act contrary to their own interests, et cetera. I really like it! I even liked Lyse. By the end, it felt like she had been through a lot and her revolution had really been earnt. The gameplay is also a MASSIVE improvement - I feel like there are less dungeons this time, but I feel like each and every single one of them makes an impact. The first and last trials especially are really something else. Some of the most exciting content in the game. I ended up binging the game all the way through to 4am today, just because I had become that invested in the direction of the story - which made me happy. Music is fantastic, too. Big step up from Heavensward. I look forward to what comes next, and I know Shadowbringers is going to be really impressive! This is a huge success story after the forgettable Realm Reborn and the stronger yet still lacking Heavensward.
