As someone who started playing FF14 by the time endbringer was released, I don't give a fuck about what others think about stormblood. All I know was that the MSQ was absolute fucking horseshit.

Here's the main point:
You are running around wiping ass on both Heavensward and Stormblood, but the two differences is that on HW you're doing so to repay house fortemps for being nice to you and letting you stay after you get framed and chased out of potatoland. It also helps that the initial quests establishes your allies as likable chivalrous characters. The shit you're wiping isn't something caused by their generation.
Storblood however you have to help the ala mhiggers and the japanese but they're busy being fucking entitled giving your retarded menial tasks despite them being the ones asking for help. The characters on your side are also insufferable cunt, old guy who's given up, blindly loyal ninja and best of all the young lord who the blindly loyal ninja has sworn to. Did I mention that said young lord hasn't done anything worthwhile at all and only has the the title of lord due to birthright and and he fucking ran away to mongolia like a coward? Also the shit your wiping is in most of the cases caused by the people you're helping giving you the double whammy of not only having to placate and do menial work to help a bunch of insufferable entitled retards, you also babysit and wipe their asses by solving problems they themselves caused.
Oh and of course noone dies noone is punished or reprimanded for their actions.

Dawntrain is just an even worse version of stormblood
