This one does have its issues (like character design) but dang I love how the characters are generally written so much.

I prefer the character writing in Xenoblade 3 and Xenosaga as a whole, but Nia, Jin, and Malos are all pretty big standouts.
Pyra and Mythra also standout as a positive depiction of DID, even if accidental (likely not accidental considering the series history of depicting characters with mental illnesses).

Also just find the gameplay mechanics very fun, arts canceling is always fun and getting big chain attack numbers after building orbs through Blade Combos makes my number loving brain happy.

Fun times
