My personal alignment is more or less opposite. Found a majority of Stormblood to be pretty banal and I really think Lyse got way too much screen time. Two parallel stories that were ultimately the same ended up burning me out by the end.

I think what made Shadowbringers better for me was the scope of it. So many microstories woven into the main giant thread of the origins of the entire world and the origins of the Ascians, how they've dictated history's course for thousands of years and how the things we've seen and done all tie up in it, ultimately bringing the entire 10 years of story together into one final nexus. It was so compelling to me (and Amaurot is prolly one of my favorite RPG reveals and locations of all time).

I didn't connect with the cast at all. The new Shadowbringer specific characters did nothing for me, and I have never liked Alphinaud. And there was entirely too much of him. Stormblood had much better expansion specific characters, although it did get a little too Lyse heavy in the end. But again, I would take Lyse over the twins anyday.

On top of that, I think SE feels like they have to keep adding jobs, and as a result, the jobs they added for Shadowbringers were pretty lame. Dancer and a reject Blue Mage, I never played either of them beyond one dungeon. That was the first expansion I didn't make one of the new classes my main for that story.

It was so compelling to me (and Amaurot is prolly one of my favorite RPG reveals and locations of all time).

I find myself not caring about many of the fan-favorite characters, and yet I still love the story as a whole.

Haurchefant? Yawn.
Emet Selch? I might have liked him more if his character model didn't look so stupid.
The Twins? I always feel like they get too much screen time, even if there are a few pretty good moments here and there.
Y'shtola, Estinien, and G'raha aren't bad IMO, though.

The storyline moments that resonate the most with me are when the WoL actually steps up and acts like the god-slayer that he/she is (e.g. the end of Heavensward and Shadowbringers). On the other hand, I get really annoyed whenever my character is in a cutscene and they're just standing there when they should be, you know, actually doing something about a given situation. I'll just be saying in my head, "Draw your weapon. Draw your weapon. Draw your weapon. Or just do nothing. That works too."
