Its a port of an old 2015 game of theirs which is flawed.
It applies a lot of QoL lessons they started adopting in later Xenoblade games since after 2 but could do with some more.
I'm bored of X. It's a done game. They achieved what they wanted to with it but it wasn't perfect but Monolith Soft have moved onto their next RPG and I have too.

Other than being a worse finale than Chapter 12 and Void being a worse villain than Luxaar and Lao I don't mind 13 as a bonus arc. Voltaire itself is a great final area, and love the idea of finding all your party members. Al is total shit tho
Material market basically ruins any sense of progression as you can make endgame shit almost immediately after unlocking the ability to craft which allows you to break the games already tenuous combat system which makes you capable of yoloing your way through the game without even properly mastering the mechanics.
