There cannot be new concepts expressed in High Fantasy, it's all been done. The world has too many restrictions. Low Fantasy is all that has the capacity to be original again.

Why do you have to have an original idea for the story though? The synopsis of your story doesn't have to be totally unlike the synopsis of any other story ever, if the details of the dialogue, characters, and plot provide a unique reading experience.
Even lord of the rings wasn't entirely original, if you get down to it, "normies find the courage to do the thing with the macguffin and defeat the bad guy who was overly confident with his evil plan" wasn't an original story even back then
