Stormblood is, overall, better than Heavensward - Heavensward has the better story but Stormbloods gameplay improvements, dungeons, trials, and areas give it the edge. This used to be a generally held opinion but now it seems like a hot take.

Shadowbringers is great but not a huge leap over the previous two expansions, more of a steady improvement. Endwalker on the other hand IS a big leap in quality.

A pretty cold take now but Vincent was never a good character, just a character design that looked stylish in the 90s. I was shocked he was so popular when I first played the game and that was back in 2006, he has aged even worse by now. So this is kind of hot take vindication. You can contrast that with Auron, who has a cool design but also is actually well written.

VIIs script significantly hurts the game as is and its ridiculous that none of the modern versions have an up-to-date translation, although the PC translation they use is marginally better.

The World of Ruin is better than the World of Balance and was truly ahead of its time.

After XIV and what weve heard of XVI, the series should stick with British VO going forward. XIV runs rings around the rest of the series in terms of voice acting (this one might not be that hot I dont know).

The series should drop numbers because its getting silly now.

Balthier is a fairly dull character people latched onto as the XII cast is so dry. The only really good character in that game is Basch.
