There are two big reasons why Xenoblade 2 is my most anticipated game slated for this year
1) Breath of the Wild is awesome, and if Monolith Soft takes what they learned from that game and apply it to a more linear adventure, that would be the recipe for an amazing experience. I really liked XbX, but BotW's world (specifically its villages, the level of interactivity, and the reward for exploration) kinda puts it to shame.
2) The Switch lends itself extremely well to big long games. I've poured at least 50 hours into BotW alone despite a busy schedule (also have decent time put into Fast RMX, Shovel Knight, I Am Setsuna, Blaster Master, etc.). Portability is extremely important to me considering I don't have as much time and energy to isolate myself into my gaming station to play my games. I've put ~60 hours into Xenoblade X before life hit and I have not gone back since considering I'd be completely lost. That fact that I can play these games with big commitments comfortably makes me crave for them again, and that truly makes me happy.
What are your thoughts GAF?
Edit: To clarify, I expect Xb2 to be more like Xb1 in the sense that the world will consist of seperate "mini" open areas, as the game will be much more linear. I'm just voicing my desire for said areas to incorporate ideas we've seen in Monolith Soft's recent work.
