It's a good game, but the weakest Xenoblade game in the entire series in my opinion, including X. It's actually pretty similar to X in strengths (combat, exploration) and weaknesses (plot, villains, uneven music quality).

XC3 has a LOT of dialogue. Probably more scenes and talking than any game in the series, and possibly the least to actually say.
And they somehow found a way to make the tutorials even more numerous and obnoxious than in XC2.

Hell everyone's main problem was being overlevelled trivializing the game because they did most of the sidequests. For once my habit of pushing most optional content to the postgame paid off!

The problem with being overleveled is that you stop getting "experience" towards unlocking classes if the enemies are more than 4 levels below you, and while you can use nopon coins to advance class rank, there's nothing (pre-DLC, at least...maybe it added something) to help you unlock new classes other than in battle w/ similar/higher leveled enemies.
Also, enemies will aggro you if you're less than like 8 levels above them. I called it the "suck zone", where you're too high level to advance classes but not high level enough to avoid every damn thing trying to pick a fight with you. Which then leads to tons of running away, lest you get even more overleveled fighting everything. Despite my best efforts, I spent most of my playthrough in the suck zone. It damped my enjoyment a lot.
