X is unrelated to the othe rgames. You can play 3 without the other 2 games. Might get more out of it if you played 1-2.

That's what I'm hearing.  I've really just been hoping to start fresh with Xeno X on the Switch as I don't really play my WiiU anymore.  I'm guessing I'll be heading back to Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.  I hear these are pretty massive commitments, so maybe in a few years I'll finally get to the third game.

If you really want to restart Xenoblade X, just start a new game with Wii U. I had about 70-80 hours on my original save, but after years of inactivity I wanted to start fresh, so I did. If you've left it for that long, it'll be too bewildering to just pick it back up in the middle.

It's the one game I still haven't finished, but I've made more progress than my previous playthrough. Mostly I just enjoy all the side quests and random citizens of NLA, moreso than the actual story.

If they do re-release Xenoblade X eventually, I'm really hoping it's for their next system. Playing it now on Wii U, the core design is still impressive, but the lack of visual clarity stands out. With enough visual improvements the game could still look amazing again, but it won't be able to achieve that on current Switch.
