Which expansion is the longest in FFXIV?

While A Realm Reborn (ARR) has the most content overall due to its massive base story, among the dedicated expansions (post-ARR), Heavensward (HW) is often cited as the longest for its main story and significant post-game patches, though Shadowbringers (ShB) and the newest Dawntrail (DT) are also substantial, with Dawntrail matching Endwalker's extensive cutscenes. Players generally find Heavensward's storyline and its patches to be very lengthy, but newer expansions like Shadowbringers and Dawntrail also offer massive amounts of content, making them comparable in playtime.
