Stormblood is still "the stinker" for me and the only MSQ I didn't finish during it's time. It was so stinky I unsubbed for two years. When I returned for ShB I was forced to get through it of course, and ultimately did enjoy the second half due to Hien and Yotsuyu, both of who I loved a lot. But boy was the early half a big meh.
