What if we took Xenoblade's party, kept only two of them, and replaced the rest of the party with two Nopon that are just as annoying as Riki but don't have any of his good traits? Oh and the two Nopon are going to have the exact same movesets as the characters from the base game you actually like, just to rub it in more.

The combat and music are still great, but when a JRPG starts tempting me to skip cutscenes you know something is off.
