I think the leadup to Stormblood was great, but the story within pretty disjointed.
Stormblood was two zones too large, IMO. They could've cut out the Peaks and not missed much, and adjusted Yanxia to be a larger portion of both Ruby Sea and the Steppe. Also, the Namazu aren't endearing in the slightest and I merely tolerate them cuz the crafter dailies are nice.
For things it did right: - Making Yotsuyu and the Tsukuyomi fight as awesome as it was. She was amazing both as a petty villainess and when we're supposed to pity her. Azim Steppe and both dungeons by it were wonderful. I had to farm the HELL out of the Burn for the Orchestrion. -It brought Mahjong to the Gold Saucer. - I've heard hearsay that the Eureka mechanics were great. - Music for the final zone was amazing. - NEW HOUSING AREA (Proud owner of Shiro 10-10 on Balmung, even if the interior is unfinished.Having a solo primal fight, and successfully demonstrating the danger it poses to your allies. I'd gush a bit more but my phone is having a seizure.
