Ishgard is just a lite version of FF Tactics's plot, Shadowbringers is just a very lite version of FFX and Tales of Symphonia that deal with it's themes and conflict much better.
Ill shill the Heck out of Shadowbringers, But not because I think its some Masterpiece or because it did anything better, took risks and all this crap people throw around.
I just think it was an interesting story, and just about everything we knew and learned in previous expansions came to a-head (If Im using that word correctly) I loved the Reveal of Hydaelyn and learning more about the Ascians and learning about their Motivations, I liked that things became a little grey and how I began to question things. I just enjoyed that.

Heavensward is a great story to with a Great Villain...but I do think HW personally is abit over-rated. Its good, really good, but I dont feel it to be the height of the Game or the best of the Game.
Also..heck yeah, Tales of Symphonia.
