I remember watching a retrospective about BD and the Literal Who basically said it wasn't bad, but it wasn't very memorable either. He also speculated why next to no one talks about it is because the Guch failed to capture the classic, cozy 90s JRPG feeling and by the time LO came out and FF13 was announced, BD looked dated by comparison, since Japs were really trying to push JRPGs forward with 7th gen tech and appeal to the west hard at the time.

I haven't gotten very far in LO, but it gives me a vibe of an anime you'd see on Toonami or on Adult Swim and reminds me a lot of Reign The Conquerer. It's pretty troupey, but it's the GOOD kind of troupey, like Skies of Arcadia.
