Depends. For me Pandoras Tower is the best game of the three (although Xenoblade is close), but I can see that I'm different.
Let's see, Last Story has the developed story which is more or less classic for these type of JRPG as it's main point. Battle system was OK, but not great.
Xenoblade Chronicles has this incredible setting with a vast Open World (yes, yes, technically you have multiple regions) and a do whatever you want attitude while also giving you a story. But I loved it most for the incredible setting, all the interesting races and places and monsters and whatnot. And it had a great battle system and awesome music.
Pandoras Tower is pretty lonely and somber. The towers are basically big puzzles filled with monsters. Your task is so clear: help your girlfriend to shake the curse. And it sets you in a time limit. If the time bar was halfway down and I hadn't found some servant flesh I started to feel bad. This game is pretty much about feelings. Your feelings toward Elena, the sadness spread from the master beasts that are the end bosses in each tower, the background which you learn by notes you find in the towers. And fighting with the chain is pretty cool.
Maybe that gives you some insight if you might like Pandoras Tower too. I'm sad wasn't remastered. This game and Xenoblade Chronicles I would by in an instant as HD-remasters on Switch. Last story probably too, although I liked the others more, this game is also fine.
