Everything I'd heard so far was that it was another success.
The praise for Endwalker's story is pretty universal for the most part, outside of a small handful of forum posters overstating their personal dislike of the story and pretending it represents some kind of silent majority.

Mostly I see people giving high praise for Endwalker's story, with the caveat that it doesn't quite match up to Heavansward or Shadowbringers, but it's nowhere near the universal consensus of being "less good" like Stormblood's story is.
