I was the guy who gave it a 6.5. I can sort of see how LoD gathered a loyal cult following ...but man the game was released on the golden era for the genre. Chrono Cross, FFIX, Xenogears, Suikoden II etc. In truth LoD was a slightly above average offering, The story was pedestrian, it had a cool battle system but  other games were better in that regard and about the only good thing that the game could do was the FMVs and stellar graphics thanks to the high production values. There were many better JRPGs in those days IMO.

Nah, Chrono Cross doesn't come even close honestly.

FFIX is amazing, I'll give you that, it really is.

LoD story was also grandiose, it knows how to progress, introduce things, pace events, be interesting, and specially be moving.

Not taking you opinions out of you, just sharing mine as well.

Your signature is good Rose is the only character I liked. Again I can see how the game could get rabid cult, myself I love The Granstream Saga a game that probably deserves 5.0-6.0 scores but flaws and all I find it one of my fave games ever. LoD at the time it was released was an above average RPG with superb production values which is why metacritic in its heyday wasn't kind  either. With a good conscience I can't say that it was better than Chrono Cross but that's my opinion.
