Stormblood

I don't really have that many strong opinions on stromblood. It's not bad by any means and I did really like it, but it mainly just occupies my mind as the expansion that bridges the gap between my two favorites, HS and SHB. I feel like this expansion is in a weird limbo between ARR/HS and SHB/EW, to me those expansions are pairs together in self-contained stories that connect to the bigger picture while stromblood is kinda just there bridging the gap. I also haven't gone in depth with it like I have the other expansions since I was kinda rushing to get to shadowbringers, so that probably has something to do with my opinion of it. Other than that it is also the expansion that introduced a bunch of characters I love, Emet-Selch, Zenos, Hien, Yotsuyu, Sadu, Tansui, and a bunch of others I'm probably forgetting. Overall, it's a good buildup to Endwalker, and the post expansion questline got me unbelievably hyped to play Shadowbringers.
