I played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii as well, and it was my favourite RPG of that generation. I loved the open world exploration at the time. It felt so satisfying that you can actually run off a cliff, or jump onto things, rather than have some invisible barrier in your way.
I agree, the sidequests are annoying, but the DE on Switch improves it with markers. I do find the game as too many sidequests, in addition to too many needless items. They went way overboard with the armour, weapons, accessories, etc. But it's still a very fun game. I'm glad to be owning a legit version of the game now instead of needing to download it on the Wii back in the day because of how they messed up the North American release.
