As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-E2S with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Olympus E-M1X will provide more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-E2S will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
