It took 2 years, but I finally finished it. I originally first played Xenoblade Chronicles on the 3DS, but only got as far as Makna Forest because I hated doing quests. I picked up Definitive Edition and got to the Bionis Leg before I once again dropped it, but vowed to complete it one day. And back in May of this year, I picked it up once again to prepare for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 but dropped it halfway through Satorl Marsh. I had already knew a lot about the story and the main twists, so I wasn't all too worried about not knowing the full thing before 3. So i played and finished 3, absolutely loving it, and once I was done with it I wanted to pick up and finish Xenoblade Chronicles 1 once and for all and finish it. I played and stopped at the Mechonis Field in November to play Sonic Frontiers and Pokemon Scarlet. After a month of that I picked it up on last time and finished the main story along with Future Connected.
Yup, this is a good game. The gameplay, just like 3, I wasn't too big a fan of, but grew to like it as the game went on. The story is really darn good, and the music is downright magestic. Future Connected was also alright, if a bit boring sometmes. Overall, I don't really need to say much, it's just a wonderful game.
