I'm hoping the plot will be as good as the one in Baten Kaitos Origins. The setting is already pretty similar and I remember really enjoying that game's characters. I just finished playing X for the first time and thought it was ok. Gameplay was pretty great at first but, believe it or not, I found myself enjoying it far less once i got a skell. The story was also dissapoint in several regards, but seeing how Xenoblade 2 will have a bigger focus on plot and chracters has made me optmistic.
I make game analyses on youtube:
