Well first thing you should know is that RPGs aren't usually my cup of tea... in fact if I were to rank the genre it would definitely be closer to the bottom than the top.
However, I'm definitely enjoying Xenoblade Chronicles. The main storyline is very compelling thus far (just added Riki to my party) and most of the areas are quite gorgeous. There's a few areas that look quite muddy and bland, but other than that, the overworld is quite awesome. The combat system is pretty fun as well... although it took me a while to get used to (when I was fighting Metal Face for the first time I didn't know how to do a Chain Attack 
).
Like a lot of RPGs now-a-days, the game throws so much at you right off the bat that it's a bit overwhelming. I'm 22 hours in and I'm still getting used to the menus, tactics, items, gems, skill, and everything else. But I'm getting more comfortable with it as time goes on.
So like I said, it's definitely not my favorite game of all time, but it's very solid thus far (although Riki is quite annoying). Right now the game is around an 8 (Great) or 9 (Incredible) for me. I gave Skyrim (the only other major RPG I've played outside of Pokemon this generation) an 8 by the way.
