I did play the first and second Xenoblade games and the first was is amazing (yet another reason for the glorious Dolphin PC master race!). I have read the critics for the Switch game and... those aren't as positive as the first game so to say. It seems I am not missing out on much? Well... There are a lot of other great JRPGs anyway.
Judging by Metacritic, ~8.5/10, so it's pretty good, but not the same acclaim as the first. I keep telling people that XBC1 is probably going to be remembered as the "Chrono Trigger" or "FF7" of that era of gaming, with respect to JRPGs. It really showed that JRPGs could still captivate an audience (yes, critics in the game industry/game journalism spheres had serious doubts around 2010). Personally, I'll play anything that strikes my fancy. Ugh, I even suffered through Sands of Destruction recently.
As a side note, anyone else having issues with Wi-Fi on their Switch when docked? Mine dies as soon as it's docked, even though everything from my phone to my PS3 is just fine in the same area of my house. I thought upgrading the system software would help, but on 4.0.1 it's still dying. I have to undock it just to download Super Mario Odyssey from the eShop.
@DrHouse64 - For one or two characters out of a large cast, I'll put up with fan service grudgingly. But if it's boobs everywhere... Come on now. I played Tales of Berseria ealier this year, and the first thing I did was put some clothes on Velvet (real clothes, not her main outfit on the cover art).
