You can turn down noise reduction and sharpening in the menus. It should be set to -2 for both. Looks like a bit oversharpened as well.

My usual settings for an Fuji X are:

ISO6400, 14mm F2.8,RAW, Velvia, noise reduction and sharpening -2, highlights, colour leave at 1 or 0. No long exposure noise reduction (if you are getting too much noise then use that).

ISO6400 is usually fairly clean but keep in mind its really only ISO4000
so if you use a Canon, Nikon or Sony it will be less bright than their ISO6400.

XE2 has a built in heavy noise reduction at ISO6400 that may not entirely turn off. Its something they did on the XE2 (XE1 did not) for the Asian market so their skin tones look like that want. It gives a plastic look and is the subject of many internet threads.
