Having fun with it now though, just concerned about the side content. It seems like all the optional content is stuff I do as I'm progressing the story, just killing and collecting on the way. Does the game get any worthwhile side quests that I have to go out of my way to complete, or is it all mmo style quests?
I also bought Xenoblade Chronicles X, how does it compare?
The side quests are an excuse to run back and forth through the big spaces.
A lot of them don't even reward XP, so don't waste your time on those like I did.

Shit, they don't? Do you get anything for them
There are a couple sidequest chains you need to complete if you want two extra Monado arts, one of which is extremely useful

Some specific questlines unlock new skill trees for characters. Characters start with 3 skill trees and can get up to 5 through quests.
Also some other quests unlock new Monado arts.

What would those arts be? Are they late game

Is there a version of this without the title?

Are party members confirmed? All the gameplay I saw just had the mc and his waifu

If you saw the Treehouse footage, the first few minutes are just Rex and Pyra, but after a while they add other members to the team (the Nopon and the catgirl).

Xenoblade has a strong main narrative and abysmal side content. X is the opposite, it has godlike side content and a super weak main story (cool story bosses though)

You haven't see the treehouse gameplay...

The sidequests in Xenoblade are complete trash, don't bother doing them.
The sidequests in Xenoblade X are actually good, they all have proper side stores and lore to go with them. X is weaker on the main story, but the sidequests more than make up for it. The combat is a much better in X as well, and the world is more interesting to explore.
I am a big fans of Xenogears, is Xenoblade better than Xenogears?
Are there any 'power of friendship' bullshit like Persona or Trails?
>>381100335
Wtf no
Xenoblade's sidequests reward way too much xp
>>381103272
Xenoblade is pure power of friendship. X isn't
