Good. It's a great game that deserves a wider audience. I'd definitely buy it again if there were some improvements.

Yeah. And even though I loved the first Xenoblade, I think XenoX little side stories work waaaaay better. I've been playing JRPGs for 30 years and I'm kind of tired of their big, epic plots.

I'm glad all these ports are supposedly happening seeing as people are much more interested in Switch than the Wii U.
That's because a lot of people just powered through the main story and never looked sideways. That's why you also get a good number of complains like "I had to grind a lot to be able to do Chapter 8". Because you didn't took your time to explore Mira and you didn't took the side quests and you didn't level up or gather items meanwhile.
Admittedly, for anyone looking for a curated experience of Mira, the story doesn't do a particularly great job of fleshing out any region beyond Sylvalum, and that one is only because chapter 10 has you fighting all around it.
But then, the biggest virtue of the game is how often is rewards you with some new area, some unseen tyrant, something for going off of the beaten path, and as much as some people don't like that, I wouldn't trade that for anything.
This and TMS#FE are two games that would get me to buy a Switch day 1. The main 2 games I regret missing since I didn't care much for the WIi U. Some people are really upset that the Switch is gonna get a ton of ports but for people like me who didn't own a Wii U personally, this is fantastic.

That stood out to me, but I didn't know enough about the game to say anything other than, "Wait, that sounds familiar..."

I owned a Wii U but eventually I realized this was basically the only game I was willing to plop down $60 for. The rest were games that would've been worth $30 to me but Nintendo games don't drop in price. I would've shelled out for TMS#FE but I'd sold my Wii U by the time that came out.
The other major titles I wanted were on 3DS, so the Switch has had my interest from the moment the rumors started to solidify. Ports don't bother me either--I'd love to play XCX over again. I'm pretty curious as to what the presentation will show off but I'm almost definitely getting a Switch Year One.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Assuming you played OG xenoblade you cant possibly say that, XBX pretty much improves on almost everything from the the 1st xenoblade, minus some qol changes its so much faster and deeper now.
You can make your character anything you want its so open ended, its great.
I can see that, but I didn't like the story in XBC much. X's story and scenario interested me more, even if it wasn't as well told. And didn't have nearly as good of a soundtrack... Jesus.

If they could redo all of the characters, dialogue, voice acting, plot, music, and interface, then I'd definitely want to check this out.
EDIT: Oh, and let me control any character, and also bring back the AI routine stuff from chronicles.

You can control any character. Just put them at the front of the party.
Also, it's been a while since the I played the first game, but I don't recall any AI options from the first game that weren't in the second.
