Except both the gameplay, structure and Story are leagues above X I don't know how far you've played to say it's cliche story because it's far from that as you progress it's even better gameplay wise than the original.

In what ways were it's gameplay and structure leagues above X? 

Yeah, I'm finding that to be a headscratcher too.

I don't even think the story of Xenoblade Chronicles was anything special either, as it's a linear plot that's already been done by the same writers, and done better; where XC progressed wasn't in terms of story - it was in vertical design and pacing goals/checkpoints in a massive 3D world. The story of Xenoblade Chronicles X did ask some fascinating questions (such as, how would a human city fare on an alien world?) and provided an enormous amount of content to answer it.

At least with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the story seems much more original - I am still not through it, as I am in chapter 6, but I am really enjoying it so far.
