The editors didn't like
Everything takes 100x longer than it should. The writing is subpar. None of the characters are particularly likable
Developer
Mechanics feel overly complicated at times
Character design is very generically anime
Annoying texture and object pop-in bugs
Overly complicated gameplay
Convuluted battle mechanics
Seemingly never-ending side quests
Overpowered enemies
The first half of the story is filled with cliches and bland plot points
Many characters backed by poor voice acting
Poppi's potential as a fully-customizable Blade is squandered by the need to play Tiger Tiger
Common Blades are boring to look at
And
Map/Compass
Resolution portable mode
Side quests
Doesn't address any of the original's issues
Forced sidequests hurt pacing
Story feels like it is focused on a side character
Still not the best looking game due to low resolution
British voices will be divisive
Some obscure or complicated quests that aren't explained well
Unnecessary progression stop gates
Characters talk over each other in combat
Field skills can slow progression
The voice acting makes it difficult to take the game seriously at times
The interchangeable nature of the combat makes the characters feel less unique
The performance is less than stellar more often than I would like

I may not be that far into it, but with ten or so hours under my belt, I'm already finding Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a real treat. It's fun to play and is yet another incredibly well-made Switch game. It's great to play something as wondrously huge on the bu...
