I would really like advice from the Xenoblade community. I’ve never played a Xenoblade game before, and I don’t understand how the battle system works, but I’m into JRPGs and was always curious about the series. Plus, I haven’t played a JRPG since FFXV, which was a mess imo (a lot of highs and lows, never knew what to think of it).

My question is: Do you think I would like XC2? Is it a good place to start? Is it hard to get into the game and combat system (I hated Octopath Travelever based on the demo because it felt overly complicated)?

It's easy to get into while having a tonne of depth, the game for the first 3 chapters walks you through mechanics anyway before leaving things up to you.

Thanks. Is there exploration or you just follow the story forcefully most of the time? Sorry to ask these silly questions.
