Look, this game may seem overwhelming as hell with all of it's salvaging, collection points, aux cores, accessories and whatever else the game has to offer, alongside it's GACHA system for summoning new weapons that are essential to beat the game. Once you get into the flow of doing new quests, tackling new objectives, setting goals, making your own builds, exploring places you've never had before, trying to set up new combos and chain attack orbs........... THIS is what makes the game fun and enjoyable. I really hated the game at first but now towards the end I've grown to love it. As for the story, it follows the path as xenoblade 1, you start the game, the game kicks you in the nuts, the game generates a ton of questions within your brain and then 60 hours in it all makes sense finally, this is a masterpiece.
