ARR doesn't really have A story. It has many shorter, interwoven storylines. It is basically just the story of how you go from an unknown adventurer among many to become the famous Warrior of Light - and the life of an adventurer includes doing many things other people just can't be bothered with.
The stories of Heavensward and Stormblood are more focused, even if the individual quests are neither better or worse. (HW is about the ending of the Dragonsong War, while SB is about the liberation of Ala Mhigo and Doma)
Note that the story of each expansion actually starts during the late parts of the previous expansion - the HW story for example (as opposed to HW expansion) started as early as patch 2.3 where you can also find some of the early setup for the SB storyline.
