I recently picked up a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in a sale and don’t have enough time to play all the previous titles at the moment. I know that playing the games in a chronological order would be beneficial in terms of background story and lore, but is it possible to follow the story without having played one and two before?
Here’s a tip because you say you don’t have a lot of time (which I mean who does) there are four like movement buffs that you get (it’s been so long I forget what they call but you’ll know it when you see it). Follow the main questline until you get the first three. The fourth one comes much later in the game. Once you have the first three then that’s a good time to start exploring.
