I'll be honest, the story hard carries this game for me. I'm not the biggest fan of the combat, but the story and characters kept me engaged enough to the point where I didn't care.

The gameplay, music, and story are amazing to the point where I'm able to look past the anime tropes of which I usually despise.

Not a fan of the combat system to be honest and the villians are weak both in design and motive. Music and its incorporation into the story is strong. The main cast is kind of fun, but I don't care much for the Heroes in this game like I did for the Blades in Xenoblade 2.

I love the Vanguard Switch mechanic and I don't mind the smaller traversable locations. It's a short fun gaming experience.

It doesn't overstay it's welcome and I love Matthew and A more than I thought I would. The main game is probably better than the DLC, but I honestly had more fun playing through Future Redeemed.

A worse version of Xenoblade 1's combat system combined with a weak story. It's a buildup for Xenoblade 3, but X3 wasn't that great to me anyway.
