I'll do a quick The Legend of Dragoon review similar in appearance to how I see this review presented.

Best JRPG Ever

Pros - It's a Sony developed Playstation exclusive.

Cons - It has yet to be ported to the PS4 like every other game Sony's developed.

This review is /s btw.

Do you think people only like LOD because it's exclusive? 

No.  I think Nintendo fans state Xenoblade Chronicles is the best RPG ever because Nintendo purchased Monolithsoft and it's a first party exclusive game.  Same reason Nintendo fans praise Monolithsoft as being the best RPG developer, which not once did you ever hear them make that statement until after they became first party, not even when there were exclusives on Nintendo consoles from the developer like Baten Kaitos, Soma Bringer, Dragon Ball Z Attack of the Saiyans, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier, etc.  It wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo fans started praising Xenosaga 2 at this point, despite how bad it is just so they could hold onto their claim of Monolithsoft being the best JRPG dev. 

Imo, most of the JRPGs recently wouldn't hold a candle to a lot of the JRPGs from the SNES/PS1/PS2 era. I mean, I love Xenoblade (other than the weird love-triangle thing they tacked onto the game), but games like LoD, Breath of Fire 3/4, Suikoden, Grandia, and the older Final Fantasies are all better.
