^ This. X is excellent. It's not story driven as mentioned as well, but if the topic creator is interested in world building and deep, deep customization it literally gets no better than X. Not that it's story doesn't have great merit as well, but digging up a good picture of that story takes time and effort. X is a game you play if you love gameplay and getting lost in a new world.

Oh I've heard it's good, just not AS good as the others, although the people I've heard from also seem to like story heavy games too, and I do hear the same opinion being echoed, that the story is its weak point.

I do actually prefer story heavy games to open world games myself, however, the Xenoblade Chronicles games look like they have amazing worlds to explore, and I'll admit the XCX world does look bloody beautiful, reminds me of Gran Pulse from Final Fantasy XIII in the way it looks actually... they also seem to have fixed the jumping, since in the first game it's bloody horrendous, lol. 

Maybe I WILL give XCX a go sometime in the future, simply to explore the world, lol, but right now my main focus is on trying to finish the first game!

You should if for nothing else because you can beat the game in 40 hrs if you wind up hating it. But if the game does resonate, it offers SO much more than even the original. Also, if you can't get into a game that starts you out on the last stand at sword valley (original), or waking up marooned on an alien planet and asking you to fight your way to he only civilization on the planet while you cross paths with foes that can 1 hit kill you, I'm not sure you're going to be pulled in with Xenoblade 2's going around a guild vessel opening, talking to a ton of folks about things you'll likely rapidly tap buttons to skip.
