Just completed Heavenward on stream

[Kolsykol]

I dunno why Stormblood gets so much hate, it's not as good as Heavensward but it's not bad and it has great moments.
If anything it actually felt a bit too short which was my main issue.

Edit: Btw don't listen too much to people on the forums and on reddit.
A lot of the things I see people complain endlessly about are things that I've seen new players and streamers love and I dunno what some people are talking about really.
People just tend to be far more negative on forums.

I felt Stormblood was rushed. It really should have been two separate fleshed out expacs

They were originally just going to have the first part of it be the entire expansion, but it wasn't enough content and that is why it is the way it is. It also makes sense in the story.

Didn't really work out for me. Left some parts of the story high and dry and some zones emptier than my stomach after I haven't eaten for 12 hours. Not looking forward to taking my 2nd alt through StB. Particularly 4.2 to 4.5, man was that part of StB drawn out and miserable. But at least SMN's rework will make trudging through 4.1+ palatable. Did not help that StB zones are the most boring things I've had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon. If I wanted to look at barren wastelands I could just walk outside my backdoor and gaze at the empty cornfield without sunglasses on, and that's free.

I have more fun going through ARR than I do StB. Only thing I really liked about StB was the login screen. But StB is really good at one thing; making you appreciate the other expansions.

For me the story was really meh in comparison with Heavensward. Didn't help it kept jumping back and forth.

It wasn't the worst experience ever but it was far from my favorite expansion. Mainly because the plot was rushed and it really wasn't that engaging with the post launch patches. It was only when they started setting up Shadowbringers that I began enjoying it again.
