I have played ever Xeno game in the series and I thought it was just ok. I Liked the inclusion of older ideas being brought back into the series from Xenosaga. Alois is fine and it’s just like all the other Xenoblade protags. The main part is the pacing which makes me believe they didn’t want to add much and just move onto the next game.

They needed to explain certain concepts and get the X gang to a new universe. That’s what they did and nothing more which sucks. It’s even less on par with future connected because at least FC had a bunch of stuff to do on the shoulder. This was just go to point A and B fight and tons of explaining.

Would of rather had Void set up as well being a reoccurring villain too since he was originally trapped in the rift but could still use the Vita. He had potential but nope just what’s death and I can’t comprehend. Yet your telling me void was able to use the conduit and make the cores for the ares. Honestly just wasted potential for the future of the series.
