Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-E2S and X1D.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-E2S with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Hasselblad X1D will give you extra detail using its extra 35MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively.
