Is Final Fantasy XIII the last hope for a AAA JRPG on next-gen platforms?

why so many people saying JRPG is all mediocre this gen of market or some people say JRPG is doing worse, dying genre, etc...last gen was just as mediocre if you put it that way...there were only a handful of AAA titles for JRPG...probably could count them with one hand...

FF12 92
FFX 92
Persona 4 93

oh i just did...didn't even need all 5 fingers


none of the DQ or KH series is AAA....so if you talk about amazing JRPG...it's a misconception...only amazing games that are going to be if you go by rating are probably going to be FF series...and maybe one random JRPG...so in that sense...even last gen has been mediocre if not worse than this gen...the difference between last gen and this gen is the quantities of different games that have been coming out...

DQ8 and KH2 last gen received as good reviews as the 3 you listed in Japan (if not better)... they are definitely AAA.

 

kingdom hearts to received 87...which isn't AAA

and DQ8 received 89...just one point shy of AAA

and no they have not received better....

uh... I said.. in Japan. We are talking about JRPG after all.
