I played Symphonia on PC, Hearts R on Vita, Zestiria on PS4, and Abyss on a PS2 Emulator. It's legally sketchy, but they never released the game here and apparently have no intention of it since we didn't even get the recent 3DS port. Gamecube one would be Symphonia, and Xbox would be Vespiria, which a lot of people consider the best one.
Have you played the original Xenoblade Chronicles? I'm finding it to be really excellent for entirely different reasons. I still can't bring myself to finish DA:I.
As for metal picks... hold on to your arse because I've been wanting to recommend some for a while!
I'm going to stop because I could literally go all day.
