@Ryoth For the two official sources that were brought to my attention, Metacritic and Steam, they are pretty negative. While Metacritic is mixed, it is also the lowest of any expansion for both the Meta Score and User Reviews, even lower than ARR. Steam is currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" for reviews and you do have to own the game to leave a review there.
The healer strike, feels like it'd be obvious those that main the role would be the ones that would do a strike and complain about its gameplay. When your entire job can be done by the tank in 95% of content, something needed to be done to get attention, and the strike has gotten that.
@ChHa Guessing you're not paying attention to recent news then? Cause reviews for the new expansion Dawntrail (7.0) have been pretty negative and there's still the #healerstrike that started right before as well. Gameplay took a nosedive in Shadowbringers (5.0) and they have made promises to fix things in the next expansion (8.0) despite knowing that it is a problem for people.
Haven't played DT myself as I stopped in Endwalker (6.0) so I don't know how well the combat design has changed but them focusing on that is why the Jobs are all still boring samey feeling things, cause they didn't think the playerbase could handle both combat redesign and job redesign in the same expansion despite the two designs being intrinsically linked.
That said, very solo friendly game, all story related dungeons can be done with Trusts (NPC party) and only Trial (8 man content), Raids (8 man content), and Alliance Raids (24 man content) actually require you to play with other people. Most don't talk cause the gameplay doesn't really allow for easy conversation in combat. If you have any other gaming rig (PC/PS/Xbox) there's a Free Trial that lets you get to Lv70 (of 100) and do all the content of the Base Game and first 2 expansions.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st August)
Visions of Mana (Xbox) is what's got me this weekend. Will take a break for some DnD with friends and possibly some Pokemon Unite.

@TrueFace While not a remaster or anything, you can actually play the 360 version of SA2 (with Battle DLC) on a current Xbox
