We all know production costs are gonna go up even higher next generation, so the question is will JRPG developers be able to survive? I'm not talking about the huge JRPGs like Final Fantasy, I'm talking about Tales of, Disgaea and Ni No Kuni. I think small JRPG developers will try to make games for the current generation as long as they can, but when the consoles become obselete and they are forced to move on to the next gen how will they adapt? I started getting into JRPGs when I had my PS2 and I had a long list of games to choose from, but in this generation the number of JRPGs has really dropped, and I know its gonna drop next gen, but I hope we still have some of the beloved JRPGs franchises around. Just to use this as an example, for KH3 we saw a new art style in that short trailer, its not realistic and it looks a little different from KH2. I think they went with this art style because it costs less to make and with it being so long since the last console KH game, and the handheld games not selling all that well, they are not sure KH can still pull out those big numbers so they are playing it safe. I don't want to see JRPGs die because they are my favorite genre, I'm hoping they can still turn a profit using new art styles that cost less, but still look beautiful. What do you guys think?
