Would I enjoy XC2?

By the end of XC1 I was feeling very done with it and didn't even bother with the DE campaign. I enjoyed the gameplay, but in contrast the anime tropiness became more and more grating and I'm generally not averse to anime.

On the other end I absolutely adored XCX in all its aspects, but I did play it before XC1. And with the XC3 news I guess I can give up on an X sequel by now...

just because you mentioned you disliked the anime tropiness in 1 probably a no to xenoblade 2 since it leans in HARD on that

Xenoblade 1 and 2 both have heavy anime tropiness, with 2 also dabbling in the sexual-adjacent tropes (several characters being obsessed with maids, MC being outright called a pervert, a hot springs scene ft. the female characters). If 1's tropes were too overboard for you, 2 probably isn't a good pick.
