Depends

Story/Lore wise, I think ShB is the best expansion so far, way better than SB and even on top of HW. If give us more insight of both Zodiark and Hydaelyn, give us another point of view of Ascian. Slightly disappointing of how Varis line go.

Game mechanics, Dungeon and Trial are pretty much the same formula as previous expansion, it have good and bad. Trust system is a good design but should limit it availability to leveling dungeon only and not as effective as DF.

Music, was great but could we have a way to disable mount theme music? It is very annoying everything I mount and dismount the music change.

Job, very disappointing about healer change, not the lose of DPS skill, but the flood with powerful low CD oGCD heal. while do not give us anything other than dps during downtime, not a fan of new AST card effect which I use to main healer back in SB. Love the change to MCH and Tank especially the remove of DA spam on DRK. Some job could use more love like RDM and NIN.

Some scenery are refreshing like Il Mheg and Lakeland some are quite boring such as Rak'tika. Rak'tika being Viera focus like Azim Steppe for Au Ra are nice, but the up coming expansion I would like to see some of those love putting on old ARR race
