Its story is above average (it keeps up with its spirtual predecessors in all but scope.) I'd compare it to a good anime series in terms of story. One that doesn't have bad implementation of cliches, while still having them exist. Furthermore, there is a lot of symbolism and depth to the story. The characters are only fleshed out if you do extra content though, which you likely will.
Even more important than the story, is the atmosphere. This game has the best atmosphere of any JRPG I've played. You literally are traveling on a behemoth which feels like the size of a country in a semi-open world. Anywhere you can see, you can go to, and the views are amazing. This helps the story because the conflict feels real and not video-gamey. Everything about the world has some sort of explanation, and it makes you want to explore that much more.
