So Xenoblade X is in the mail because my Wii U needed a new game and it looked fun. I've never played a "Xeno" game and I know they are not connected but should I play Chronicles first? Does it offer a lot in the terms of a good ol fun jrpg?
While it was stated that XCX was not a a squeal there's a bunch of implications in that game that it is. However it isn't very story relevant or anything so don't worry about[spoilers]well there was that one scene with the monster lions[/spoilers]. But I would still recommend you play xenoblade first, It has a simpler combat system that will help you learn how to play these games easier and you will enjoy the improvements made to it in XCX. Xenoblade also has a very enjoyable story, I became glued to game determined to beat every boss just so I could what happens next.
I hope this helped

I lost interest and sold XCX about half way through. Exploration just felt like it became too reliant on dolls, and dolls made exploration feel too easy/pointless. Also the story just seems too mellownot in a good way like other games that actually focus on a mellow storyso it kinda lost my interest.
My suggestion is to rely as little as you can on dolls in the second game. I heard the 1st game is worse in some aspects, but I kinda feel like the story might have been more interesting. I might give it a try sometime, but XCX definitely bumped it down the backlog.
They're both great games. I suggest playing the first one first, since it is simpler in many ways.
But if you do that, do NOT go into the sequel thinking of it as a sequel. The games are not very similar outside of combat, which is pretty different to begin with.
The first game is more about story, where the second game is more about exploration.

leave before it gets spoiled for you dumbass
The first one is great, X sucks dick.
It's a different game from X, but not a BAD different game.
And don;t worry if you hate Fiora. She'll be gone soon enough.

pretty much this
also keep in mind that XCX may have its story continued whereas XC1 is done
I'm actually 27 hours into xenoblade X, the story is diluited and the quests generic as fuck, the story of Xenoblade Chronicles is much better, also the map is big but not that interesting, it's almost impossible to escape from a combat, the monsters even 3-4 levels stronger kill you in one hit. For now, not very impressed.
