A popular MMO reviewer gave FFXIV Shadowbringers the thumbs down o.o

I've gotta admit, after watching the review, I 100% agree. Level 1-50 is awful for leveling, especially the 101 fetch quests from the end of ARR to get to HW.

Still, I feel it's the hours of buildup and little bits of story along with the fetch quests that that made ShB's story really come together and you miss out on a lot if you just skip it all. Could it be done better? Of course. Generally those quests are rather bland.
