persona 4 says hi. Turn-based jRPGs are still alive

But still aren't popular.

 

Pokemon says hi.

You know I never forget bout Pokemon

I am mainly talking bout HOME consoles here

Why are you mainly talking about home consoles here? Why does everybody that bitches about JRPGs in general consistently ignore the fact that the dominant platform for JRPGs is a handheld? Get over it. This must be what the Nintendo fans always talk about, moving the goal posts in an argument. First it was simply turnbased RPGs are dying. Now it's like turnbased RPGs are dying on consoles. No shit. Guess what else is dying on consoles? Turn based strategy RPGs, action RPGs and just about all other RPGs coming out of Japan.

FYI, FF XII is turn based. I'm not sure what game you thought you played.

@pristine-Pokemon has every attribute of what makes a JRPG what it is. Monster collecting as you would say is also in Persona and Dragon Quest V. Do you make the same claims that both deserve to be in a ridiculous bubble genre called "Monster collecting"?
