I am a bit baffled by how one can dislike anime, but like Xeno games. Xenogears is not that different from many mech anime at the time of its release. It was deeper than most, but so was something of the likes of Neon Genesis Evangelion.  Xenosaga was similar to Xenogears, but with even more archetypical characters. If you pulled all of the cutscenes from Xenoblade, you could make an anime out of it - most likely an above-average Action-Adventure. Every single character was a trope in Xenoblade. To the extent that the story was fleshed out in Xenoblade Chronicles X, it would fit in fine as an anime as well. 

Ironically, the Xeno game that felt the least like an anime, was Xenogears, and it had actual anime for cutscenes. The one that felt the most like an anime was Xenoblade, and it didn't have anime cutscenes.
