TLDR: This is an unbelieably good game. Despite the game being quite old, the Remaster gave it a new chance to shine. Definitely a must play for everyone who likes this type of Genre. Watch some reviews, dont spoil yourself the story though.

Now, this game is not new, you can feel it while playing. The graphics are on the low end.
But, dont fool yourself. If you love this Genre, JRPGs.This is a 100% must play game. The story around the main protagonist, Shulk, is very well written.
The fighting is a bit repetitive but fun.
You can get quite a bit invested into the characters and the game is really long too. Even if you dont do half of the side quests you can easily invest 50 - 100 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles.
Yes. There are a LOT, like a TON of sidequests, many are repetitive "get this, get that" filler quests. But some do stick out. And the Main quest in itself is unbelievably long.
You can also collect stuff if thats your thing. Try and complete your Collection of plants and whatever else you can find out there. I sure loved completing mine.
Xenoblade chronicles is definitely not for everyone, but many who would love it, miss out on it for reasons beyond me. :)
