I'm not too far from being able to join in that spoilery conversation. On chapter 7. Did all hero quests and side stories finally. There are SO many quests in this game. IMO possibly the best quests in a video game. While a lot of stuff is just fetch or kill, theres always story to go with every part and it fleshes out the world and characters so well. I feel like I know 100+ named characters and their personalities. That's wild. Also this game made me sad about a tirkin.

Indeed. I think X still takes the cake for exploration in terms of having more interesting environments and navigation tools, but it's definitely been dethroned as the series' king of side quests. The worldbuilding is so incredibly rich this time around and does such a good job of exploring and expanding on the game's underlying themes, and the whole experience is made so much greater for it. Bolearis has a moment in the events surrounding the final boss that is fun on its own, but holds so much more meaning having done the side quests to help him grow into the role of Acting Commander and is really quite genuinely touching despite being kind of silly.

Should I buy Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or wait until a definitive edition?

I'd say buy it, but it's gone on sale for $30-40 in late November/early December for the last 3-4 years, so you'll probably be best off waiting a couple months for that. I recommend getting the DLC as well, but it's not mandatory (despite being a prequel, Torna is better played after playing the main game because the main game contextualizes a lot of it).
