Haha N64 RPGs, makes me think of Quest 64. I actually really liked that game -.-

I think JRPGs need to evolve. At least if they want to be commercially successful. Evolve into what? I'm not sure, but have there really been any innovations lately? At least some WRPG developers (bethesda and bioware come to mind quickest) are trying to do new things.

ummmm

valkyria chronicles and demon's souls are some that come to mind

Demon's Souls seems more like a (loving) throwback imo.  Outside the online component, it's pretty much just a dungeon crawler.

Valkyria's pretty interesting though, and definitely unlike almost everything before it.
