Indededeed !

120 hours finished the main story. WIll do the post game story another time. I'm burnt. If I combine my Wii U and Switch playtime of this game. 920 hours. Not a typo. Probably 2k hours for all games combined

Gosh @Leynos , you madman !

I've only begun the side content after Chapter 5 in my case. Seeing the Xenos beginning to populate the city is one of my favorite aspect of this game as well as the world itself.

I'm getting close to the end of Chapter 5. Chapter 6 (if I remember correctly) is when you get your first Skell.
Got side quests done (at least the ones I can do), and most of the main quests and Affinity quests, but I want to explore as much of Cauldros on foot as I can before heading into Chapter 6.

Hmmmm .... So huh, no Switch 2 Edition has been announced for the game or any other games in the series so far .... Do we think they're will be updates in the future or nah ?

100%

Maybe because it's still relatively fresh on Switch they don't want to already tout the Switch 2 edition while people are considering if they should buy it now or wait, but the 60fps mode people found in the code basically confirms it.

Even if they're niche sellers the Xenoblade IP value as the flagship RPG series for Nintendo makes them important enough, that I wouldn't be surprised if later in the year when they reveal Monolith Soft's next game they also reveal Switch 2 editions for all the Xenoblade games. Definitely at least this one.

True, forgot about that !

Cheers for the eventual announcement in the next summer Direct ! 

Maybe ...

I've been waiting to buy X until I get Switch 2. Because I'm not in a hurry to play it and the worst case it will run the same as Switch. But there's a 99% chance it will run better. 

Ok I leveled up to 71. Got 3 Ares skells. 2 I crafted and Ares Prime. Finished Chapter 13. 210 hours or so. Putting my Wii U/Switch combined playtime over 1000 hours and with that. I am truly done this time. I need some bloody stylish action and a shooter or arcade games. Short. Fast gameplay.

At worst, it's likely gonna help with the load times because of UFS Reader speeds but overall the game loads pretty fast already so this wouldn't change much until the likely 60fps patch.
