They will happen. Especially if Western developers for some strange reason start to make them.

I think the problem with cutscenes in JRPGs isn't so much the length of them as much as it is the writing and voice acting in them. JRPGs these days tend to suffer from terrible VA and cornball dialogue though I think that has more to do with the localization than the actual writing. Look at MGS4, every few people I knew considered lengthy cutscenes in that game a glaring flaw.
