I'm currently in between Chapter 6 and 7 of the game right now just tackling sidequests. Really enjoying this game so far. While I feel there are some things that Xenoblade did better than X, holy cow does this game nail down the exploration aspect so well. Making the world feel natural while giving me a sense of curiosity and alertness at the same time, it just all feels so great. =)

I'm not really enjoying XCX as much as I expected to, to be honest. I think it's because I went into it expecting it to be another XC, and it just isn't. It's mostly in the plot and characters, which were great in XC, and just aren't there in XCX. I believe the phrase I used before was that your party feels like a bunch of interchangeable fleshbags. Maybe I'm missing something, but even in battle it feels like your party doesn't matter. I mean, you need them to be there, but they don't matter in the sense that you just need 3 NPCs standing there dealing damage for you--but it doesn't matter what party members you have, your build and what you do is going to be the same. In XC, your party composition mattered a lot, depending on who you controlled and what your party was, and also had very different feels/strategies. If you controlled Shulk and your party members were Sharla and Melia you needed to tank, but if they were Reyn and Dunban you were doing to glass cannon dps. Melia-Sharla-Riki would be a very defensive, DoT-based team, whereas Dunban-Reyn-Seven would topple lock. Whereas if you're going for an ether Blossom Dance build in XCX, it really doesn't matter which NPCs you bring along.
Right now I'm between Chapter 6 and 7 too. I got my first Skell a couple of days ago, and... haven't touched the game since.

In XCX, my division is Reclaimers. I still need to survey at least 15% of Primordia to get to the next story mission.

And yeah Bad, it's not Xenoblade Chronicles. I went in not expecting that anyways. I think that helped me to like the game more as I hear that it's a worse experience if people come in expecting a Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Whereas the first game emphasized character and plot, this game emphasizes a whole lot more on exploration. I do enjoy the very few characters I get to learn about somewhat, but I do agree that the previous game had better characters. The reason I keep playing is because I really enjoy discovering the new environments and I do enjoy the battle system. Granted, I can't change who I control, but getting to change my classes and abilities makes up for that for me.
But yeah, I do think it helps if you know what you're getting into before you actually play it. It's definitely not for everyone, but I personally think overall, it's a really great game.

That's a big one, but there's also the matter of tone and setting differing between the two. I feel as though Xenoblade Chronicles has a lighter tone (though that's not to say the game couldn't be serious) and a high fantasy setting. By contrast, Xenoblade Chronicles X strikes me as more subdued when it comes to fantasy elements--not to mention its tone strikes me as darker.
I'll always love you, Max.

All Dunban needs is his sword, not even gems.
In XCX I joined the Curators! First on the scene, gathering everything we can find! I liked how they were the actual pioneering group for it. Then again so are the Pathfinders...but the lines are blurry.

Well, that's Sharla, not Dunban. More to the point, I will concede that some builds are more effective for particular tasks than others. That doesn't make less effective builds "wrong," though.

Eh he's entitled to his opinion General. From what I can decipher, naked Dunban is a (depending on your perspective) funny little thing that works surprisingly well but can really drop off for late/postgame difficulty when the use of rank V gems means you get diminishing returns.
I use him as a more DPS-y tank compared to Reyn who is a surefire defence. Though recently I started figuring out how to use the last party member in a way I find exhilarating now that their Skill tree has grown a bit.

Then you have to dig into the party gauge resource which is a greater cost than healing a bit more.
Edit: Additionally I feel Reyn has more Aggro-drawing moves and mechanics than Dunban and so will take those 3000 hits more often than the DPS

I hope I can find a way to fit her into my regular team. Seems like she calls for a lot of buffs. I can do that sure, working my way down the buff/debuff classes to get more of them.
Also DoMaya, was looking to hire you yesterday but saw you had no skills set. Should check those out because they can really amp your gameplay.

She's easily one of my favorite characters in the game. I'm still trying to figure out how each of the classes work and what the ideal team composition is, but I'd love to make her a regular on my team. I expect to be railroaded into having Elma and Lin on my team for story missions and most affinity missions, so I arguably only have one spot available for the character of my choice. Admittedly, I like Lin and Elma, so I'm not complaining about being stuck with them so much as I'm complaining about being stuck with them. Here's hoping the best fit for that final spot will also be a character I'm fond of.
I'll always love you, Max.

So far I haven't felt much need for team synergy. Your 3 computer characters deal damage and call out soul voices... That's all they do, they seem to do it relatively equally (given equal levels/equipment/etc), and they don't really interact with your skills. It's nice to have a tank (that is, Lin) but besides that party member selection hasn't really felt like a super-important decision to me.

Team Synergy matters quite a bit to me. I really feel it (in a bad way) when I go back to main plot and deal with Lin and Elma not syncing with my SV in any meaningful way.
I also wish the other characters mattered more...like I realise I'm only allowed 1 extra character per mission. Would it be too much to give them some small amount of dialogue so they don't just feel like hired muscle?

I'm guessing gun safety rules do not apply to rayguns. Doug and Yelv seem very prone to using Ether Blast and other "damage all enemies in a straight line" arts when one of the indigens behind the target isn't involved in the fight. For added "fun," sometimes the indigen in question is so far out of my league that it can pull off a one-hit TPK.

On another note, I'm considering doing a new playthrough. I've beaten the game and have a better sense of how things work now. Maybe I'll choose a different division this time around.

And yes, I know I can spam warp points to change the weather, but I didn't have any good ones to Oblivia at the time.

And yes, I still haven't beaten the game yet, but considering my circumstances, I do get into the game about once a week. I'm currently prepping for chapter 9, but I did want to say that I really enjoyed Chapter 8. Required me use my Skell for the first time. Granted as of now, I still don't really now how to use them effectively as well as I can with Ground combat. The boss fight for the chapter was definitely my most intense yet though and I loved it.
So at the time, I only had one skell for myself. When I got the boss to half health, both my party members died. When I got him down to a third, my skell nearly blew up. I got lucky and evacuated when it had 6hp left. XD And somehow by the skin of my teeth, I still managed to beat the boss first try. All those circumstances definitely made the fight feel very epic, so even though it was stressful at the time, it was a fantastic experience. I was just happy at that moment that I mastered ground combat to be effective enough to save that fight. XD
I just hope somewhere down the line, I actually learn how Skell combat actually works because right now, all I know what to do is to grab and spam arts, which I don't think is a very effective strategy. XD

And yes, I also loved the boss fight in Chapter 8--probably not so much because of the battle itself, but rather the setup and where the story was going at the time. I could be mistaken, but I think that was also the first time "NO.EX01" played as the background music. The whole chapter, but especially the boss battle, really drove home the point that the bad guys aren't fooling around anymore.
I'll always love you, Max.
