Xenoblade 2 is easily the most "anime" xenoblade game for better or worse. The battle system is great but takes a bit too long to open up. Just realize if you are level 10-15 and thinking "god, this is slow and boring" it actually gets faster and more interesting. It's also IMO most interesting and useful to play as the tank (dodge tank being the most fun). Xenoblade 2 holds up the xenoblade tradition of having the most interesting locations visual design even though the latter half of the game doesn't impress as much as the first half.

The story is pretty solid if somewhat standard jrpg/anime plot but it fails a bit in the last 3rd of the game IMO. I see this happen a lot where they bring down the main character after a story event so they can redeem themselves but they just didn't execute it well here.

The mechanics are a lot of fun, poppi QT is OP as are all the DLC units like fiora and elma. I found the end game challenges to be fairly lacking but the DLC battle arena thing is VERY challenging. The game is also quite long. I'd give it a 9/10. Could have been 10/10 if they had one more cool area and the last 3rd of the story was rewritten to not be dumb.

Also in case it's confusing, golden torna is basically a prequel with it's own save files and mechanics and everything.

I'm hoping to snag FE: 3 houses once I get through this round of medical tests. I'm hoping the time management part doesn't put me off too much. I really hate not being able to do everything and get everything.
