Can you give specific examples? I thought the general outlook was that it was positively received, with negative takes on it being pretty sparse. I've seen a lot more disdain thrown at Endwalker, and it wasn't without reason. Usually people point to the exact same topics:

- Hydaelyn's motivation and actions not being satisfactory, with some people feeling it justifies genocide
- Zodiark being curbed early on in the story as the first trial with little build-up, as well as those who criticise it saying that it doesn't do justice to the years of build-up as the end-goal antagonist of the first arc
- Fandaniel being irritating and poorly executed, with him being unsatisfying as a villain. Especially after him usurping Zodiark
- Meteion being an arse-pull with an anvillicious arc whose message ranges from falsely hopeful to insultingly dismissive of people's struggles

I think the only consistent complaint back in SHB that I can remember was Ran'jit's character being poorly executed. Everything else ranged from hype to "not the best execution, but it's passable" like the 2nd arc of Amh Araeng.
