There's too much strawmanning people who criticize the game

return to stormblood in what sense? story? garbage. gameplay? nothing special, this game in general has never been special in that regard. classes? they already played the same in that expansion, playing tank wasn't very different regardless if you played PLD, WAR or DRK for example.

so return to stormblood in what sense?

Gameplay was at its most polished. Roles still had decent identity. Aggro management was still a real thing. Healers had more than 2 buttons. Story was better. Tanking and healing weren't braindead. Content variety. But go off I suppose.
