Are RPGs becoming niche on consoles?

While JRPGs are more stagnant than their WRPG counterparts, saying they haven't progressed at all is unfair. FFXII, despite its flaws, was a vastly different experience than FFVII. Even Blue Dragon added some very cool features that made it different than any other JRPG I've ever played. Lost Odyssey was a massive disappointment, though.

And thanks for reminding me that I still need to buy TWEWY. I'm kinda ashamed that I still haven't played that game... Maybe next week I'll pick it up. I need something to get me back in while I wait for RE5.

Atleast Lost Odyssey had a (mostly) adult cast.

So what? If I feel like I'm playing a graphically updated FFVII-VIII, I'll get bored and stop playing after awhile. I've been there, done that too many times.

And LO had its fair share of annoying children. Let's not forget that. Personally, I thought BD was kinda charming in a kitschy Japanese way.

Compared to other childen characters in RPGs, Cooke and Mack actually weren't that annoying, especially compared to Maromaro.
