We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Reynhart]

I struggle to find any new feature that was introduced in Stormblood that was not already in Heavensward either exactly the same with a new skin or some earlier failed prototype that has been adjusted.

For me, Stormblood has one thing better than Heavensward : ilvl distribution.
What pissed me a lot in HW is how farming tomestones was mandatory if you wanted to have access to the content at launch (Neverreap and Fractal only dropping i160 when Gordias required 170)
At least in Stormblood, the level 70 dungeons dropped i300 where Deltascape only required i295.
