There are valid complaints to be made against Xenoblade but the battle system, OST, and world design are all beyond reproach IMO.
I would say that's the furthest from the truth. My complaints are nitpicks, but nitpicks add up.
The battle system feels slow, your movement feels deliberately slow and that comes in to conflict with placement and it's healing mechanic. Also the AI is dumb and since the combat system is built on basically your team being corroborative and using different elements to build combos, the ai being dumb with it's switching is a problem. Also in the end I felt like things like elemental weakness, the seals, and whatnot were fluff and easily ignored. A complex system that honestly felt pointless towards the end. Except for the final boss. The battle system was fun, but honestly it all blurred together in the end. Add in a shitty gatcha system and class system that pretends to be flexabile, but really isn't mostly thanks to the ai and you have something I think is pretty much a failure. Character progression and management is pretty important to me in games and Xenoblade 2 makes it tedious and unfun.
I also did'nt feel the ost either. It seemed rather generic and been there done that for Mitsuda, but then again I'm not really a fan of him anyway.
The world design was in a word boring,bland, and felt pretty downgraded from XBX. I did'nt find the whole on Titans thing exciting. It mostly felt unearned, with cities and set pieces not say taking place on a characters eye or having the world actually feel like it was in motion. Nothing interesting and in the end the were generic lava place, snow place, green place whatever. No wow moments like in XB1 where you realize the bridge is a sword or your climbing a mech god's finger. If you told me they just took place on islands in the sky I would believe you.
The world did'nt even feel as expansive as XBX. Many places felt like corridors, tubes, small patches of zones. Not these huge scaled areas like in the previous games.
And then because of XB's scale the world felt small in XB2. There's this huge fleet that goes into battle at some point in the game and I guess they represent one small city in a small nation? The other games did not have this problem of world realization. XB1 is a small human population. XBX is one city of survivors. XB2 is supposed to be an actual big world with nations of I guess 20 people?
It's very much a sequel to XB1 with how it feels but with a better combat system
It doesn't feature anything I found fresh about the 1st one.
The first game was a refuge from the anime otaku bait that basically took over jrpgs of that gen. This game has Prya and Mythra who would be right at home in an Image Factory game.
The first game featured character designs that reminded of me of a time when Japanese things weren't all super pastel anime waifu stuff. XB2 is that in it's character designs.
XB1 had a simple and approachable battle system that placed importance on your parties roles. XB2 mucks this all up with over complexity.
XB1 had Shulk, a nerdy protag with an interesting identity crisis. Someone who wasn't the typical bland hero that is in all Japanese things it seems. He was curious, inventive, meek, and a nerd. XB2 has Rex who is as bland as can be straight down to the typical anime black/blue hair.
XB1 had a party that felt like a family and had motivations to be together. XB2's party has several characters who if I took out of the game it would'nt matter.
XB1's love intrest was nothing special. The girl next door, but she did'nt feel like cheap waifu bait. XB2 has Pyra and Mythra and an ending that basically shits on whatever point the game had to say about them.
XB1's world felt expansive and unlike anything I've seen in a jrpg. XB2 is generic as they come right down to evil church.
XB1's quests did not feel like busy work. XB2's sure feel tedious.
XB2 is'nt anything what I like about the Xenoblade games. I liked the Xenoblade games because they didn't feel like typical JRPGS. Xenoblade 2 is the definition of generic.
I'm not saying you to stop complaining, but I suggest you to stop complaining. I thought you where banned before because of ranting regarding Xenoblade 2. We already get it, you hate the game.
I got a ban for system war stuff, not for criticizing Xenoblade.
