Dragon Quest IX, Final Fantasy XIII, and Pokemond Pearl/Diamond/Platium are certainly important.
The Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Pokemon franchises will always be important to the Japanese, until the Xbox 360 recieves a Japanese release date for Final Fantasy XIII and a Dragon Quest title. The 360 will contiune to sink below the PS3.
The only thing the Xbox 360 provided this generation was a wealth of new JRPG's that we never heard of. They manage to get some JRPG's to jump aboard the 360 to have a nice selection to choose from. Whether they liked them or not, is up to the Japanese themselves.
Like I said Dragon Quest will help the DS, Final Fantasy XIII will help the PS3 and Pokemon will help the DS. Other JRPG's are just here to help feel the void.
Tales of Vesperia in my opinion seems to be overrated, Infinite Undiscovery bombed here in America and it did a somewhat spectacular increase in hardware sales in Japan.
We haven't seem the true JRPG's yet. JRPG's are suppose to increase hardware sales. So they can get those users or fans on their consoles.
