How does BP compare to other JRPGs you´ve played over the last 5 years or so?...is it one of the better games?

To me, so far, it's on par with Lost Odyssey, Dragon Quest V (NDS) and Dragon Quest IX, which were my favourite JRPGs in recent years. And yes, I've played Xenoblade Chronicles (get asked this question a lot around here).

And it's BD (Bravely Default) .

After FFX on the PS2, I stopped enjoying JRPGs (which was my favorite genre in the PS1 days) for a long time until I played Lost Odyssey, so it´s good to see you, a veteran player, is putting BD on par with LO, I´m even more interested in the game now.

Plus, I hear it´s made by the same team that developed 3D Dot Game Heroes?...cause I love 3DDGH.

Indeed, it was made by a cooperation between Silicon Studies, S-E and 5pb (the studio that designed the scenarios in the game, which look amazing). 

BD doesn't have the depth of story that LO has (lets face it, few games do, it was that good), but it compensantes by having an extremely good gameplay which really takes advantage of the turn-based and job systems. The game can also be tailored to your experience, so it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be, with different difficulty and encounter levels.

Plus, it has great characters whom are very well developed and a exceedingly good VA, easily surpassing a lot of VAs in console games (the Swordmaster Kamiizumi english VA is pretty good, even better than his Japanese VA), and you can change between english and japanese VA.
