I spent like 40 hours on XC2 and uh, idk I really liked the world design but wasn't a fan of the effectively gacha mechanics to unlock new fighters. The story seemed to have a really slow start (which I'm not necessarily against) but the combat wasn't my thing unfortunately. The Japanese voice acting is definitely a lot better than the English, and was worth waiting for the download on even though I didn't end up playing that far in.

2 in my opinion is the worst of the trilogy.

3 is a masterpiece, and doesn’t have that gotcha crap.

Funny enough, the gacha was my favorite part of 2 since it forced me to work with what I had to make a good team that felt unique to me. I understand why it was unpopular, but I wouldn't mind more single player games using gacha mechanics to make playthroughs feel unique.
