Blue Dragon wouldn't have sold nearly so well without the marketing and the barren landscape of JRPGs at the moment.
Lost Odyssey is pretty damn fun, but is such a medium-budget knock off of Final Fantasy it's ridiculous. Sed is probably the worst example. He has an air ship, he's a mechanic... why didn't they just call him Cid?! Oh and let's give him an axe-gun. That's way different than Squall's Gunblade.
Honestly I think the only reason I played LO all the way through, was to prevent convulsions due to no good JRPG fix recently.
