I liked the story for what it was meant to do, aka end the Zodiark/Hydaelyn saga.

But outside of that ? It really felt lackluster, rushed and average at best, the pacing was really all over the place. But what ever, I overall got what I paid for.
This has also a lot to do with me really getting tired of this world savior role and I hope that the implications from the story show true that we return to just being a "normal" (as a savior of the universe can be) adventurer.

It is quite average expansion in my taste.
It is good to finally put an end to Zodiark/Hydaelyn arc, and overall I am quite satisfied and enjoy the writing for this plot.

I enjoy the plot in Garlemald the most but feel very rush, I would prefer they put more content in Garlemald and left out thavnair for future expansion.

Sharlayan plot line feel very very slow pace and boring at the beginning with all the politic, but when we revisit it at higher level, the change of tone suddenly speed up so quickly. it feel like low level of Sharlayans plot is at a pace of reach 10 out of 100, and when we come back again it suddenly go from 10 to 100.

Zenos have a very good character development in EW, we could finally understand the “reason” behind his madness. Yet, Hermes feel very forced, being a head of testing facility he run a little project without prove testing it, without peer reviewing it, in a field with very little understanding and decide to send them out for one of the most demanding and challenging task.

Not to mention I really don’t like the idea of time traveling especially with all the paradox we have in FFXIV
