JRPGs...What the hell happened to you?

It's as simple as the fact that since JRPGs went mainstream, more and more started to be released in the West. Unfortunately, this causes the genre to be oversaturated with a ton of generic JRPGs. When we has less JRPGs, the general quality of what we got was high. Now, a lot of the ones we get are mediocre if not slightly above average.

I think you are wrong. In the old days probably ratio of crap to good JRPG was the same - but much less of them were released in US (and even less in PAL) so we have mostly seen best titles.
