The original by far.
I play JRPGs for their spine tingling unforgettable life changing epic stories of drama and tragedy and sweeping orchestra sound tracks. Not for their mini games and other such nonsense.
Greatly disappointed with XCX.
It's the FF7 of the Xeno franchise. Overhyped, looks pretty, great gameplay, lots to do, will probably be more loved by casuals, but in the end it's a hollow shallow shell of it's former self and not really Xenoblade anymore. All glitz and glam and busy work but no meat.
Time to go watch the ending of Xenoblade Chronicles again. Soul moving. Dialog with emotional voices + music ramping up as you feel the chills creeping up your back. Never gets old. From the title screen the moment you put the disc in, to the cresendo of the credits music, just.... what a ride.

Hey lets eat Tatsu .... 3 second clip of "uh uh yeah" looping forever. Some robots fighting.
