I cannot imagine how you can say the gameplay mechanics are even similar in the two games. They are both turn-based, but thats pretty much where the similarities end. The combat system is different, the leveling system is completely different, and the equipment system is only vaguely similar. The fact that combat is done in set rounds rather than based on speed of characters to gain actions faster than your opponent is a huge difference in and of itself. The ring system is also a major change in how the game functions and that is just addressing part of what makes the combat system so different.
FFX is in no way better than LO from what I have played. Unless the fourth disc suddenly turns around and starts sucking on me then the game is just hands down better. The characters are more interesting, although painfully under-developed. There are definately some issues with the game that stick out like a sore thumb at times (why are the immortal characters hands down better than the mortal characters?) but it never detracts from it too much. The writing is decent and the story is pretty ok. I would say if you like the genre and own a 360 you should buy the game.
