I personally haven't played the original XC yet, though I have a copy of the Wii version. Xenoblade Chronicles X is a very different game in terms of gameplay and concept compared to XC2. Xenoblade X mostly focus on the open world aspect while XC and XC2 are a bit more contained, though still provide very big worlds, and focus more on story and characters.

While all three have links between each other with references and all, they are all distinctively standalone games. Thus, you don't have to play either the OG or X to better understand XC2. Though it is recommended due to them being high quality games regardless. But if you don't have a lot of time, otherwise, then just go play XC2.

Ok I'll probably just play XC2 then, can't be bothered digging out the wii or emulating the original, and don't own a WiiU anymore either. They may release XC or XCX on Switch at some point anyway who knows.
