BLue Dragon ===== Dragon quest for M$

Lost Oddesy ===== Final Fantasy

if you look at their success they did not match up to their inspirations

M$ could make 10 AAA JRPG's I think and the japs would still stick to the Nintendo or Sony. Because after how much better LO was than FF8-12, it proves to me they couldnt care less for gr8 games as much as homebrew.

 

Careful how you use that word.

And No, LO was not better than FF8-FF12 (maybe FF11, but it's a different genre). If anything LO was a FF10 clone with FF4 character designs, the battle system was very uninspiring and the story tried too hard. Although, LO is the best JRPG this generation has to offer, in the end it can't escape the shadow of the FF series (8-12 included).
