Have you played X though? I will admit a lot of it is lost in haze for me because of a particularly rough mental health episode right after I finished it, but I remember a lot of it being great (it was actually my first Xenoblade game).
The anime-isms of 2 began in X, though it was tempered by the setting some. Also, getting the mech is one of the top gaming moments. Elma is a great character, and the recruitable characters are cool too. Very neat story too, though it lacks a lot of the QOL from 2 and 3.
If you haven't, the remaster comes out next month and you should give it a shot (though I don't know if I'll be getting it right away... Monhun coming out)
Never had a Wii U, pre-ordered X DE! v excited since they kept talking like it'd never be ported because the codebase was apparently switch-hostile
So my other critique of X: the soundtrack truly slaps (early Sawano work), but only having 2 tracks for the main city (day/night) when you spend most of your time there (versus say, 3 where you're splitting time between a LOT of colonies) was a huge mistake.
If they haven't changed it, get ready for the NLA theme to haunt your dreams.
