3.0 is pretty good
Heavensward has a great well-written fantasy tale tackling corruption with a really amazing atmosphere.

I think 3.0 is an enjoyable experience because of the cast dynamic with Alphinaud, Ysayle, and Estinien. Coming off of the adrenaline from the 2.55 ending, the first half of the story is really interesting and the later half is more exciting. It's not all great to me however, 3.0 suffers from moments of side-tracking, especially with the primal trials or the Moogle part. This kind of doesn’t add anything to the narrative but one can argue that these are supposed to be lighthearted moments regardless the primal fights are always really cool to witness. Personally, I found the patches leading toward Stormblood the best part of heavensward as a whole especially 3.3 and 3.4

Alexandria is really fun and the alliance raid is really good sadly I skipped the story for these and plan on coming back later on.
