others have probably said similar things but as someone who recently started xiv specifically for the story, i'd say yes but be aware what you're getting into. a realm reborn's story is a snoozefest and the gameplay isn't much better. post-arr and heavensward improves a lot but personally i didn't start to really get into it until post-hw, when the story is very good but to my surprise i even began to enjoy the gameplay, when the classes are a lot better, having more stuff to do, and the new raids are also great. this means you might be playing for over 150 hours before it clicks.
basically, i began playing just for the story and eventually stayed for both story and gameplay. that being said stormblood's story is just ok but shadowbringers is great so far.
