he isn't lying. the jrpg genre is dying and will suffer until some japanese developer take notice and bring in what the new market wants rather than what they want. the market is driven based on new. work with the wii and look who is the number one leading manufacturer (Nintendo).
Personally from my perspective on playing jrpgs. I haven't really touched any jrpg yet until the late final fantasy x-2 for the ps2. i just got the original mass effect for the xbox 360 and will be starting that game soon. but jrpg's do have the same repeating formula over and over again. and for me its a good thing because its their formula and it works for the fans rather than mainstream and that's what square enix is failing to realize.
make something new, think outside the box and watch what happens. final fantasy 13 will sell well because its one of the most anticipating games to release this year for japan and next year for worldwide. but as far as other jrpg's are concerned we will see a decline for the genre as years progress until there is an "revision" made.
