Considering the word's racist origins, it's not surprising.
Aaaanyway... Xenoblade X is fun. It's just as easy as the original though, especially after you get a decent Skell. At least you can actually fight things two levels higher then yourself. Plot's decently interesting, but it's not really special so far. Maybe it's just me, but the reveal after you save the Man-on was played up as something huge but I'm just thinking meh. Side quests are cool though. There's a pretty big Back to the Future reference, at least if you make the right choices. (Buy the expensive one, hint hint.)
Gameplay wise it's really overwhelming at first, even after the original Xenoblade. There's a ton to keep track of, in and out of fights. Sad thing is that even with all this complexity it doesn't feel particularly deep because you really can't challenge things way out of your league even if you're hyper prepared for it, only make things more on your level easier.
