The game only became tolerable once Lyse's incessant chatter ceased following the main story quests. However, this slight improvement couldn't redeem the overall experience, especially considering the lackluster post-game content. While some claim the post-game story hit its peak, it felt more like a desperate attempt to salvage a sinking ship. The deltascape and Ivalice alliance raids were decent distractions, but they couldn't mask the game's fundamental flaws. Sure, listening to Vagrant Story music alongside a horde of other players might provide a brief moment of respite, but it's a fleeting one amidst the game's myriad issues. As for the characters, while they managed to salvage some of the weaker ones, it was too little, too late. Stormblood's story was a tedious slog, and even the supposedly "good" characters couldn't escape its mediocrity. As for Shadowbringers, given the disappointment of Stormblood, it's hard to muster any excitement for what comes next.

Game got good when Lyse stopped yapping after the main story quests

The post game story was peak and it feels like for the first time in the entire game so far they finally locked in and cut out the fat that plagued the other expansions. Not to mention the amazing deltascape and ivalice alliance raids. Nothing will come close to listening to vagrant story music alongside 23 other people in this game

Really didnt think i would end up caring about any of the characters in stormbloods story leading up to the ending but they made the weak ones good and the good ones great. Can't wait to see what they did in shadowbringers
