….and I bought another Xenoblade game lol. Didn’t play Xenoblade 2 nor 3 for more than 5hr, but maybe X will do the trick.

i played Xenoblade X for about 30min before switching over the Super Paper Mario. Idk these games just aren’t very casual friendly. Within a few minutes of starting, I have like 30 enemies on my screen, a several checkpoint markers to follow. Nothing like BotW/TotK where you simply explore your way through everything, or Mario/Metroid/Kirby/etc. which leads you down an extremely straight-forward guided section… (btw SPM goes crazy. It’s nothing like it’s predecessors, but it’s still an extremely fun game with a charming story.)

30 min won't even get you to NLA. Xenoblade X world design is what made BOTW what it is. Xenoblade like many JRPGs takes a few hours to teach you everything then lets you go. Once you are let go you can explore the world all you want..at least the lower part. Later in the game, you get mechs which let you explore the vertical part of the open world. Xenoblade X is the least friendly to people not familiar with RPGs. It's caked in systems and subsystems—my only issue with X and the same as the original release. The menus are garbage. A lot of stuff is hidden in a menu hidden in another menu. Still a phenomenal game and series.
