I have lost most interest in RPG's. I used to look so forward to them. Here's why.

Thats just not true.Nier Automata, Nioh, Dark Souls and many more had and has excellent sales in the west, and they are all JRPGs.Now, if you mean turn based RPGs, there are FE, Pokemon, Persona, DQ(of which I have a very good feeling that XI will do very well on the west) Bravely Default and many other smaller and bigger franchises finds succeesses in the west.You dont need to sell millions upon millions to be considered a succeess.

Your first list of names aren't your traditional jrpg. They're way more action oriented. They didn't have excellent sales in west. Don't know what your idea of excellent sales. Skyrim had excellent sales

My idea of excellent sales are those sales that exceed the publisher expectation.Your idea of needing to sell tens of millions of units to be considered excellent is ludriculous.I mean, you can count on your hands how many franchises can achieve that.Skyrim, COD, Mario are on their own level in terms of sales.

And those games may not be tradicional JRPGs, but they are JRPGs nonetheless.After all, the J stands for Japanese, no?Otherwise, what genre do they belong to?Western RPGs?They may be action focused, but they are still RPGs that comes from Japan.
