Is Xenoblade 2 one of these highly praised JRPGs that have terrible writing, voice acting and tons of fan service? .

Writing and Voice-Acting: I thought it was good overall. There were definitely some cringe-worthy moments here and there. (Rex and Nia's relationship for example. Specifically this one particular scene...

Spoiler!

You know, the scene where Nia reveals her true form and then, out of the blue, confesses her love to Rex and Rex literally just says, "Wha...?"

The game is in my top 10...but holy crap did I hate that scene. Came of nowhere and accomplished nothing, you could have removed everything after the  reveal and literally nothing would change. I actually sympathized with Rex's response given how random it was.

Overall I thought the writing was great though. Sure there were some JRPG cliches like the fallen hero that has to keep doing what he's doing because it's too late and an evil fantasy pope, but the cast was fantastic overall, and where it was done, the character development was fantastic, especially on Rex. 

OT though: Great news...would like to see more of what this studio is working on. Xeno 3 (or 2-2 for me) would be awesome of course...but a new IP would be interesting too.
