I'm getting tired of the argument that JRPGs are getting stale. I wonder how many JRPGs have played those who say it. I won't argue here if they are more innovative or not than WRPGs, but they aren't getting stale. You hae FFXII which tried a radically different approach to the series (good or not is up to oppinion, but it IS radical), but people say that FF are always the same. Then you have games like Persona 3 (which blends RPG with social life sim), Suikoden and Radiata Stories (which give you more characters to recruit than all the NPCs in a WRPG), Disgaea (which makes a lot of twists, like Item World, the Senate that had never been done before), Shin Megami Tensei, etc.
And let's not even talk about the upcoming games like White Knight, which will even add online co-op to a JRPG.
We can argue if the JRPGs could even improve more, but those who say they haven't improved in 10 years have only played Dragon Quest in their lives
