So, I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles for the first time...

Really good game, only major complains I have with the game are:

 

•  MMO like side quest with zero variety and extremely boring to do (halfway through the game I only did them if I needed to grind).
•  Stupid and cliche moments in the story (won't go into detail because of spoilers), there are 3 parts specifically in story that truly pissed me off.

 

There is variety on side quests. some of them lead you to secret areas and optional bosses. they are few but do exist.
