Finally caught up to my original Xenoblade file from last year so I've switched back over to that which was right before going into Prison Island.
It's amazing seeing the difference in my characters between my run through the story file and my original file that I'm now playing.
Just using Shulk's Back Attack on Eryth Sea enemies as an example he was doing around 4000 damage with that on my rush through file and he's doing 16000 on my original file
Time to finish up any sidequests I had going at the time before going to Prison Island
