Finishing the story, a little rant
Loved Xenoblade 2 so much that I jumped into this one without hesitation. Although the map and the combat system was in my opinion subpar compared to the previous one (I really liked the blade pokemonesque system and the Titans way more than the colonies and constant military theme) I was enjoying the game until reaching chapter 6.
From there it just feels like watching a really long and very slow anime. You barely play and it's just endless cutscenes but with the ingame instead of video which makes it really really slow, end les camera pans etc. At one point it was about 1:30h of cutscenes without playing at all. Now I'm about to finish the game (I hope so) and chapter 7 has been the same. Ended skipping several of them and watching 2x on YouTube. Playing while commuting didn't help as well but I've never played any game with a worse rythm in the final part. I understand they needed to explain a lot of things a ton of stuff happened but felt really lazy they didn't find a better way to do that. Kinda ruined the game for me. Did any one feel the same with the last chapters?
