id say xc1 > xc2 > xc3 > xcx > xenogears > xenosaga series. why i say to start with xenoblade first and not xenogears (following the order of release dates) is that for a lot of players older games are harder to get into so its better to play them when youre already invested.

That's super helpful insight! Thank you. I take it xc1 Definitive Edition on Switch is better than the original Wii release?

it very much is
