The Xenoblade games. Probably Xenogears and Xenosaga, too, but I haven't played those yet.
Partially agree. The series as a whole fully agree, game by game is iffy
XC1 can absolutely stand alone and really needs you to go in blind
XCFC doesn't make sense without having played XC1
XC2 again can stand alone but you'll catch some story stuff sooner if you'd played XC1
XCTTGC makes no sense without XC2
XC3 is this bizzaro mess I'm still not sure what the fuck happened but I think it does need XC1 and 2 background knowledge
XCFR retains XC3 heavy reliance on the previous games, but cranked up to levels that makes the Star Wars sequels seem almost reasonable
