Played and loved DQ11 on PS4
Xenoblade 2 kind of hinges on me liking 1
Honestly, there have been playing like one of the Xenoblades but not the other. 1 has a fantastic story and narrative. But the massive world and combat can be seen as dated especially if someone was coming from Xenoblade 2.
2's is much much more fanservicey and anime. The story is good altho it is a slow burn compared to one. But its combat is proably the best out of an Switch JRPG for me. It gets pretty overwhelming and the lack of accessibility reviewing tutorials still bothers me when I see others play it.
Maybe try Octopath Traveler there should be the demo available for it still. Also not a Switch exclusive, but I would strongly reccommend Ys Viii on either PS4 or Switch. (Technically PS4 has the best version, but the Switch port is decent).
