The most controversial expansion have better overall reviews than Shadowbringers or Heavensward. It's acclaimed by both critics and players.


I can understand not liking Endwalker story, but let's not act like it's FFXIV downfall. Endwalker was the end of a saga, we are starting a new one, so it means you won't see continuation of the plot you didn't appreciated in 6.0.
To me FFXIV have always been as it's best when it tells a self contained story like HW or SHB, this is how 7.0 will start when it will introduce it's new plot.
