I hard a real hard time finishing this game and I only finished it so that I could be current and go into Xenoblade 3 with the story knowledge. Played off and on since release and honestly I regret that instead of just finishing it. It isn’t a difficult game but it’s a long one and despite the hate it gets for depiction of the female characters, it has an interesting story and a great twist at the end that ties it to the first game. I think it’s the weakest of the trilogy but it’s a very solid and very good game.
