“From a story perspective yes,” admitted Twitter userPillowyZeal, “[but] content-wise? Oh hell no it was by far the best expansion. Eureka, the Omega raids were fire, two great ultimates, almost all Ex fights were really good, Heaven on High and MH trial collab.”
“To me, Stormblood was by far the best expansion,” agreedHeather Sommers. “Stormblood had the best trials, environments, and dungeons to me.”
