Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition: -nsp--u...
: Removal of mandatory BLADE levels for field skills and the ability to swap party members directly from the menu.
: A series of combat challenges that reward players with "Noponstones," which can be traded for rare equipment and unique "Fashion Gear".
: Character models were entirely remade to align with the aesthetic of Xenoblade Chronicles 2
That said, XC2 has more complex combat and a larger world. Both are excellent; Definitive Edition is simply more accessible.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is an enhanced remaster of the original Wii RPG, released for the Nintendo Switch. It includes significant visual upgrades, quality-of-life improvements, and a brand-new epilogue. Key Content & New Features
: A standalone story focusing on Melia and Shulk. It features a unique battle mechanic involving "Nopon reinforcements" instead of the standard Chain Attacks. Complete Visual Overhaul

The vast vistas of the Gaur Plain look sharper and more vibrant than ever before. 2. Modernized User Interface (UI)
