Xenoblade 2 is fucking buttery with the switch 2 update. Input lag in the overworld is gone and they sped up all the menu animations, as well. So checking your blade's affinity chart isn't like a 30 second ordeal

@VD15 @ergo look I’m not pretending that I don’t own a switch 2 and that I won’t buy the upgrade -

Easily the best QoL so far is the field skills. THEY FIXED FIELD SKILLS AFTER NINE YEARS!
They'll check the skills of every blade you have now, not just the ones you have equipped. You don't have to menu in a bunch of common blades, it'll just give you whatever levels you have in a skill.
Collection points are also a lot faster in general, the items spawn sooner and you're not locked in place waiting for the animations to play out. This and the fact that you'll likely just have levels in whatever field skill is relevant for that collection point somewhere in your backlog means that you're gonna be getting a lot more items, a lot faster

Some auto-animations are very noticeably not 60fps though. Sometimes a character will turn around at 30fps mid cutscene. Really distracting

@ChristiJunior @lain Not even limited to fedi. Apparently people on tw*tter were throwing a fit over MOMO's design.
The xenoblade 2 discourse never ends.
