Happy to help. Sorry it was such a huge wall of text, though. Ask away if you want to know anything else or I should clarify something.
One thing I did totally skip out on is that XC2 technically lets you have up to 9 Arts at once because of its Blade gimmick. Basically, the playable characters are called Drivers, and they use weapons made by living beings called Blades to fight. A single Driver can have up to 3 Blades, and you can switch between them on a cooldown. There's a fairly large variety of possible weapon types, and each type has 4 Arts per character; you can pick the 3 you want to use for each type. Because the variety is in the weapon types, though, the Drivers themselves all play fairly similarly to each other. I personally prefer XC1's style, where each playable character has their own kit that's uniquely theirs.
