Rhalgr's Reach is just about the last thing on my mind when I think about Stormblood's problems.

The far greater issue in my opinion is that the expansion thinks it has a story to tell, but it does not. It will force you to follow around an angsty, privileged, naive kid who never learns any lessons and eventually gets everything she wants without needing to grow. Unrelated, the story will present you with the overarching problem that needs to be solved, and then it will entirely forget about that problem and you'll magically solve it without rhyme or reason. The expansion has opinions on being oppressed that are politely summarized as "unfortunate".

Stormblood is the expansion where I don't bat an eye when someone buys a paid skip.
