Probably a bit of a basic question, but I'm interested in hearing everyone's favorite entry from the Xeno series! Please mark spoilers as appropriate (though it'd be preferable to be spoiler free).
My favorite ties between Xenogears and Xenoblade X. Xenogears is one of the most ambitious JRPGs I've ever played, I love its heavy usage of religion and philosophy and its darker theme as compared to other JRPGs. While it couldn't be completed to its fullest potential, I still think it's a masterpiece of a game. It makes me excited (and a bit disappointed) to think how fleshed out Disc 2 would have been had it been fully developed. (XG remake 2021 anyone?? We can dream ^^)
As for Xenoblade X, I love its rich exploration and world lore. Even after 4 years, I still don't get tired exploring Planet Mira. The history of the planet, as well as its unexplained mysteries, alien species, and the fate of humankind is so interesting to ponder and theorize about. Its story wasn't executed strongly (not surprising, given XCX is very exploration heavy) but it also has unused potential that could be expanded upon in a sequel. (Which I also dream will be announced someday lol)
What about you all? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions!
