I haven't finished X (about 55 hours in), but the gameplay is Xenoblade Chronicles on steroids, crack, and mushrooms, pure gaming bliss.
Xenoblade Chronicles wins as far as Story, Music, and characters go, but the gameplay in X is so deep, nuanced and varied that it ends up becoming the more enjoyable game.
I do believe that Xenoblade Chronicles will end up being remembered more fondly.
The already piss poor shooting mechanics would be even worse, the puzzles would solve themselves, enemies would be bullet sponges, and everything would be heavily scripted. To ND's credit the pacing should be very good.
