What's wrong with JRPGs today?

I think your problem is that you excluded Persona. Not every JRPG back then was great, only a few were. There was always crap. If FF7 shined back in 1997, Persona 4 shined in 2008. One only needs to look at that game to see how the genre is constantly evolving. Yeah, maybe some devs are lazy, maybe they got a bit behind, maybe the next gen surprised them. But, as long as there are companies like Atlus, JRPGs will be fine

Are you serious? One game (or one company) can't carry a whole genre. And no jrpgs are not crap. I can name a sh*t load of great jrpgs.

Huh? Who said they were??. And read my post again. I said "as long as there are companies like Atlus", not "as long as there is Atlus"

Read the bolded.

I still don't see what's wrong. It's a fact that 50% percent of the RPGs released are crap, it happens with every genre. For every Persona there's a Magna Carta, for every FF there's a Shadow Hearts. I hope you're not trying to imply that every JRPG is good
