I think 2014 looks like it could be the best year for console RPGs we've had last gen(PS360,) and for this gen(3DS, Vita, Wii U) it could be better than 2013, but I don't really see that happening unless the quality of each is excellent.
I'm most interested in Lightning Returns for 2014 though. I didn't like FInal Fantasy 13, never played Final Fantasy 13-2, and from what we've seen about Lightning Returns, the story might suck, but gameplay looks really good. So Lightning Returns might be able to pull off what FF10-2 did. Horrible story, but gameplay that was so good, that it's still a good game. In my opinion, the gameplay to Lightning Returns looks Demon's Souls-like with an ATB system and a class change system like Final Fantasy 10-2, except each class has their own stamina and MP that regain throughout the battle, so you'll switch to others and fight with that class while the others are all recovering. The game shows off the quest system, another feature that was heavily implemented in Final Fantasy 10-2 and so far it also looks really nice here as well. This might be the best Square Enix game this gen.
