I also find it funny that Level 5 claims JRPGs are losing momentum in Japan when White Knight Chronicles is soon to be their best selling RPG that isn't called Dragon Quest ever in the country.

No it isn't, it's not even as far as Rogue Galaxy or Inazuma Eleven 2.  I think Nunokuni will sell better too.

But this FF game is taking nearly 5 years to come out and so we are without a million seller(on a console anyway) for a vast majority of this gaming gen which dosent look good

On Wii Super Paper Mario and Monster Hunter 3 are both there, but then they're both also Action RPGs.

I forgot about the Inazuma series.  Of their other released JRPGs (Dark Cloud 1/2, Rogue Galaxy), the only one they have yet to top in Japan is Rogue Galaxy, and they're getting close.  They've topped 360k since the rerelease and the release of the Slim.
