Bolded are the ones I played & finished.

I will give you that they all have well-executed stories - but there is no reason at all to say that for example CT has a good story while Xenogears doesn't. CT has a much more coherent and understandable execution, while Xenogears running out of budget screwed it up somewhat. CT isn't original or groundbreaking, just extremely well executed. Same goes to FF IV.

Persona 5 as well has some ad-hoc measures in execution, as well as plot holes, but the story is IMO certainly not worse than anything I bolded there. Deus Ex beats in originality of course.

Persona 5's stry is directionless. It doesn't even feel it has one until about half way through. Again I loved the game but it's story is shit. Xenogears is just convuluted and messy. It's not executed well either.And once again I love Xenogears. My copy is sitting 3 feet away from me.

It's a buildup. it's not different from Persona 4 for example in that sense, just replace murders for change of heart targets. Starts simple, reveals itself as more. It's very coherent in its theme of rebellion against a larger power.

Xenogears is indeed convoluted and messy, which is what I should've said as well. Still, it is one of the better parts of it - I hate the gameplays' guts.
