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.

I don't consider that variety, the core of all quest are basically the same:

Kill x number of monsters

Collect x number of this item

Kill x strong monster

Talk with x character to deliver x item

And that's pretty much it, it's impossible to not get bored after doing the same thing over and over again, just with different names for monsters or items.
