I'm very much enjoying it so far. Feels like a step up from Xenoblade 1 in most areas, and I say that as someone who loved that game. It's flawed in many of the same ways that the first Xenoblade is - but as was the case then, they add to the unique charm of the game IMO, even for some of the frustrations they cause.

I did skip Xenoblade Chronicles X, though, and my friend who played that one says this feels like a 100% step down in gameplay from that. My only gripe atm is that while the Blade system is very cool, I don't think it has any good reason to be quite as random as it is - especially if you're playing the game blind. Even if you get a quest reward that's guaranteed to be a fit for a certain role, you could end up sticking something very much made for a tank on your healer.

I'm not that far (maybe 20 hours in?)

So far I like it, but not as much as Xenoblade 1 (mostly because the main character is, at least so far, super lame and the in game map is bad)

About 40 hours in and it's very good. In terms of gameplay, if you liked the first one you should like this as well once you figure everything out. The quests are a bit better and there's a lot of QOL improvements (aside from the map, which is the worst). And of course, the gacha system of rare blades is bad, though in practice it is not much of an issue unless you have the worst luck.

Oh and while the story itself seems fine, the tone is completely different. If Xenoblade 1 is a fairly serious mecha anime, 2 is a saturday morning cartoon.

The fact I made it 6 posts in without anyone mentioning it, gave me the false hope I got away with the crime.

Not liking the story and characters nearly as much as the original so far. Definitely a step up from X in that department (which was not a very high bar in the first place)

The gameplay is of course an improvement but it has flaws. The map is very annoying to navigate at first and there is frame rate drops at certain areas.

I'm having a blast though. Just like the first game it is hard to put it down once it gets going.
