I honestly can only think of 2 negatives. The first being the awful pacing of the MSQ. It has a great start and a fantastic end, but from going to Doma to the liberation of Doma it's such a bore. Going from community to community doing their chores so they like us enough to help with liberating their own fucking country. The other negative for me is the Emanation trail, I just didn't really like it. I'm not a fan of the human looking primals(except for my boys Ramuh, Odin and Susano) and I hated the music for it. I also felt Kugane wasn't a great hub like Ishgard was.

Other than that this expansion is amazing. The locations, the dungeons, the trials, SUSANO, Samurai and Red Mage are pretty, under water locations are cool but I thought the underwater city in the trailer would be, you know, a city and not a village.

Lyse and Alisaie's character developments are amazing, especially Lyses. The new characters are great, RIP my man Conrad and Gosetsu. Hien is cool as well. In heavensward I wasn't a big fan of Estinein, I thought he was a bit of an asshole but in the short time he was in this expansion and the dragoon quest I liked him a lot more.

Zenos was an amazing character and him offing himself was such a surprise. I've seen the Endwalker trailer so I know he's "fine" somehow. Probably something to do with the Uroboros(from Resident Evil 5) ripoff he has. The voice acting overall was better too. It felt like the actors have gotten more comfortable in their roles than in heavensward.

Finally the dark knight quest was amazing. I know the person who wrote that wrote shadowbringers so I'm looking forward to see how she psychoanalyses me in that.

Overall 7/10, it didn't have the emotional moments of heavenwards but was still amazing.

Also, ARR 6/10, HW 8/10
