I haven't played either but a wrpg fan would counter Xenogears with Planescape Torment.
Honestly I don't think story is all that important to a video game. Some of my favorite video games have little story. Books, movies, etc. do a better job of telling thought-provoking stories anyway. I'd much rather play a stereotypical crime story-style game like Hotel Dusk or a whacky story like the Phoenix Wright games than play a game with a pretentious story line (trying to act like they are the next great classical writer when they are just nerdy game programmers) that tries to be bigger than it really is. Games first and foremost are supposed to be fun.
