Endwalker is changing my mind...

Almost at the end of Endwalker (recently got the final map, so a bit to go still).

I LOVED Shadowbringers.

I really liked Heavensward.

I greatly disliked Stormblood. Stormblood to me was such a boring grind. The pacing was weird, and I didn't care for nearly any new characters. Jumping between Al Amigo and Doma felt weird and out of place. I was so sure it would remain my least favourite.

Enter Endwalker. I'm almost at the end (recently got the final map, so a bit to go still). I feel like I've been playing this expansion for half my life. It's been such a painful grind. I've had to unsub and take breaks numerous times to play other games because I can't handle the MSQ at times. I spent what felt like 3 hours explaining to Loporrits how we grow vegetables and work windmills. Radz-at-Han feels like a lifetime ago. The maps feel huge but barren and uninspired. Parts of the story have been good, but other parts have been a snooze.

I'm starting to look back at Stormblood and have started to miss parts of it. I've found myself returning to those maps more often to do fates and blue quests. Yotsuyu's character development was great. I quite liked Gosetsu.

I've heard Dawntrail is pretty rough as well, but I'm fairly over this Ascian storyline, so I'm kind of looking forward to a change of theme. Maybe Dawntrail will change my mind about Endwalker, the same way Endwalker is changing my mind of Stormblood?

Am I alone in this? How did you all feel about Endwalker?
