I've been grazing at Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a bit for several weeks now, but haven't made it very far into it.

So far, the story and presentation are phenomenal, but the gameplay is a little boring.

I'm going to give it a bit to open up (which I think, based on some podcasts I've heard, is going to be when I "free the first colony") and then decide if I keep playing it or just find some YouTube videos.
