Am I the only person on this forum who thinks BD is a better game than LO?

Are all of you really that stuck on art style? You can argue the merits of LO's story but I don't see how anyone could possibly argue that the actual play of LO was better than BD.

LO=FF VII gameplay with one timed action event per attack
BD=Wonderful combination of timed action events (that involve strategy, not only reflexes) mixed with real-time action, and a very interesting group battle dynamic. Plus, NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS!

There are a few that like BD more than LO....I'm always suprised at the amount of dislike BD gets over LO, because I agree that there was far more innovation in BD - and it was better-executed, overall, than LO.

Both have their strengths over the other - Blue Dragon's combat, ecounter and class system are better than Lost Odyssey, and did take the turn-based genre forward a bit. Lost Odyssey had deeper characters, and a more involved, better plot.

I'd put both around the same mark if it wasn't for the annoying Maru Maru.
