OK, not going to post my full thoughts here - other than to say I think it's a really, really good game and I like it a lot - but I do have to point out that DANG when Monolith Soft takes the gloves off and goes all out with their cutscenes, the presentation still kicks sooo much ass. The direction and cinematography of the cutscenes in this game are amazing when the game really gets serious.
Honestly, whoever does these needs to be brought in on more story driven projects across Nintendo. Though Nintendo in general has really shown they know how to do a cutscene lately. Mario Odyssey's story might be all fun and games but there's some fantastically animated sequences. And Breath of the Wild may have had fewer big cutscenes than it deserved but it could certainly put on a show. But Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is by far their best in this department. Honestly, I hope that as their projects get more and more backing, more and more of the cutscenes in each game get the premium treatment.
