Mostly I see people giving high praise for Endwalker's story, with the caveat that it doesn't quite match up to Heavansward or Shadowbringers, but it's nowhere near the universal consensus of being "less good" like Stormblood's story is.
I really enjoyed the EW story, but even as someone who thoroughly enjoyed the experience I recognize the obvious problems. The pacing is all over the place, and it feels like they tried to cram two full expansions of story into one. You have a lot of things happening with a lot of people, so you technically got a lot of story, but almost none of the individual arcs got really fleshed out like in the past. They went with quantity over quality for the MSQ. Current endgame doesn't have either. It doesn't have quantity or quality. The game is sorely lacking in 90 content, and a lot of what we have is either broken or extremely buggy. It's a really disturbing trend I hope they are able to recover from because at the end of the day I still like this game.
