When does Stormblood get good?[Spoilers?]

[ern815]

Lyse is still fine imo, I think.

Minfilla 1.0 was worse. She keeps getting herself in the damsel in distress situation and often orders around and never gets the work done by herself.

[RokkuEkkusu]

I think that the problem with Lyse is that only Papalymo or someone like him can supplement/compliment a character written the way she is.

I think that the problem with Lyse is that only Papalymo or someone like him can supplement/compliment a character written the way she is.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Lyse was imagined as one half of a pair and without the other half of said pair her character just felt, flat? That isn't to say she couldn't have worked without her 'partner' character but I don't think the writers quite sat down and tried to tackle the ramifications of fleshing her character out now that her crutch was gone.

That entire expansion was just blah. If it wasn't for certain characters that appealed to me in Doma, I would of fallen asleep.

Imo, only the Doma/Far East parts of SB were good, which is no surprise because it's written by the writer of ShB. Still, it's not as good as HW or ShB.

As pointed earlier, the expansion was eh. Passable.
I mean we went from an epic war between man and dragon, a top notch artstyle, and my favourite raid series,
To a mediocre local conflict in which we do not feel involved because all we do is run around the world.
But at least the end was nice. The set up for the 5.0 plot + ghymlit dark

[DBriggs304]

Didnt like SB in the beginning. Once we get to everything outside of Lyse (who cant seem to make a decision yet did fine when she was portraying someone else) it gets good, especially ytsuyu's storyline.

[AncientCrystal]

SB isn't that great at all. The only nice thing about it are the colorful environments. The Omega raid series plot is complete garbage too.

Just stick it out till Shadowbringers, which is absolutely fantastic.

[swiss_Momo]

once it stops pretending to be the Ala Mhigo expansion and fully embraces being the Doma expansion.
4 lords trial series is pretty good.
Omega is pretty boring except for the last 2 fights, unless you're a FFVI fanboy I guess (ITT: Characters that remind you of yourself. For me it's Kefka – intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.)
the Ivalice 24 mans are pretty good, albeit a bit cutscene heavy, also gets soured quite a bit by mocking you with fetch quests at the start. I sure pray to the 12 that you choke on that wine one day, Matsu, errr, dramathurge! But good luck getting queues for it nowadays since people are too lazy/stupid for thundergod
Hildy is Hildy, and finally with a trial again at the end
Eureka was personally worse than a dumpster fire, which ruined the expansion even more for me

it had a few great moments, but all in all Stormblood was pretty mediocre and honestly felt like a filler expansion

I loved Stormblood from beginning to end o_o

PS: Lyse is awesome. Or at least the original Japanese one is.
