Stormblood ending was thoroughly disappointing

[Remus]

I also prefer Heavensward over Stormblood so far. In Stormblood, I didn't really fell attached to any of the the characters really. It's hard to say but Heavensward to me felt more like "Final Fantasy" compared to Stormblood. It might be due to that fact the Heavensward felt more like a journey for our character while Stormblood felt like I was just...there for some reason. It might be due to the fact that ARR and HW put your character more in the spotlight basically saying "you are the MC and things happen around you" while SB was more felt more like "You are the MC but also not really the MC those other guys are and you are just along for the ride". That's just personally how I saw it.

Maybe I'm just not a fan of the type of story telling on Stormblood. Even with the recent story patches I still don't feel excited as I did when I was going through HW.

That's exactly the way I felt. Hence, why I said I felt mostly like a spectator. Just a useful tool for the resistance. In HW, the WoL was way more involved. It was just as much our story as it was everyone else's. Even Alphinaud had a personal stake in what was going on and everything tied together.

In SB it just felt more like we were there. And yes, I did want the satisfaction of killing Zenos because he was insane and extremely powerful. He was an irredeemable character. Even his father called him a monster.

It really depends on what FF you are talking about. FF has always been about 1) War with Gods and Dragons 2) War against the empire.

For example. FF VI started out against the Empire, and ended with Kefka being a god. Much like Stormblood story.

yes but Kefka had character building and was interesting.
