I recently picked up a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in a sale and don't have enough time to play all the previous titles at the moment. I know that playing the games in a chronological order would be beneficial in terms of background story and lore, but is it possible to follow the story without having played one and two before?

if you get past the confusing combat system in 2, you are rewarded with... a boring combat system lacking in any agency, just a lot of busywork. so it's not even like it's misunderstood but good, it's just not very good.

they made something much more enjoyable with actual agency in the standalone dlc for 2, but it's still not anything to write home about, just far more enjoyable.

and yeah all the fan service is nothing but embarrassing
