Charming games, let's see how they compare against RPGs from the first 3 years of the previous generation, starting with the Dreamcast in 2000, until beginning of 2003. I'll list only "traditional jRPGs, so no games like Phantasy Star Online.
Skies of Arcadia (2000)
Grandia 2 (2000)
Final Fantasy X (2001)
Dark Cloud (2001)
Shadow Hearts (2001)
Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland (2001)
Suikoden 3 (2002)
Kingdom Hearts (2002) (I think someone in this thread loves this one)
Wild Arms 3 (2002)
I think I could leave out the beginning of 2003 and it wouldn't be neccessary. But on 2003 with got:
Dark Cloud 2 (feb 2003)
Xenosaga: Episode 1 (feb 2003)
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter (feb 2003)
.hack Infection Part 1 (feb 2003)
And a little later if we say in November 2003 last generation was 3 years old (starting on November 2000) :
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (August 2003)
Final Fantasy X-2 (November 2003)
NOTE: I'm only listing games ranked 75 and over on Metacritic. I'm also just listing games on home consoles. These are all JRPGs. You should notice all of them except for Grandia and Skies of Arcadia are all exclusives for PlayStation 2.
So yes, this generation, which is a little over 3 years old, has undeniably sucked for JRPGs. Unless anyone here can come up with a list that can match or even reach the knees of the list I provided above.
