Yeah this one is just straight up boring. Would rather play the other two it's pretty interesting because i really don't like them. This just lacks something i can't point out. It does nothing too bad like the other xenoblade games but does nothing good either.

World is a lot more boring than the other two and the characters didn't stick the landing. I don't really like furry human characters or whatever they're called. Just couldn't take anything serious anymore.

I really don't get the gameplay, like it just doesn't do anything for me. I just stand there and auto-attack. There is no trial and error, no figuring out bosses movesets and learning how to beat them, just auto-attacking waiting for the RNG to carry me. At least one thing i can say is improved is the map directions for quests. And thank god for the auto-running function so i can just look at my phone while waiting to reach my destination.

Anyways if i'm playing a video game i want the gameplay to be top notch and xenoblade series unfortunately lacks the most important aspect of a game.

You're definitely not alone on this. I like xeno 1's combat and i admit it was on the plain side. 2 just added a ton of numbers to it, and here they made the battles as chaotic, obscure and visually noisy as possible trying to cover the fact that you only fight 7-8 enemies over the course of +70 hours (debuff, AoE, cone, line, tankbuster, call reinforcements, enrage). Mark my words, a couple years from now nobody will remember or talk about this one. Even the music sucks
