So I made it to Stormblood, progressing through and Yeah...

I see what people mean now about it being fetch quest central, there's so much filler fed-exing it seems tame compared to ARR.

The story is great, the actual quests that aren't having me run around fetching are fun, but yeah I can see why there was a large dislike of SB. Also curious why SB has considerably less Dungeons/Trials than HS (which were all highly enjoyable)

Push through the 4.x some more to reach the amazing Shadowbringers! It's worth it!
But make sure you've done the Crystal Tower raids, part of ARR before you venture into 5.0!

Ive never heard that complaint about SB. Ive heard complaints about the story and focus, but not the number of fetch quests. Interesting. As for dungeons and trials, both expansions have 4 story and 1 optional leveling dungeon. Heavensward has 5 story dungeons at cap, while Stormblood has 4(in total its 13 vs 10 cap dungeons). In total Stormblood has 3 fewer dungeons because they shifted some of their focus to other content for the expansion. Both expansions have 4 trials you encounter along the MSQ, while Stormblood actually has more optional trials(5 to 3).
