Wow, this coming from Bioware who've been using the exact same template across mutliple IP's since KOTOR.

Jade Empire = KOTOR - Star Wars + Asia
Mass Effect = KOTOR - Star Wars
Dragon Age = KOTOR - Star Wars + Baldur's Gate

JRPGs have evolved plenty. Persona 3 and 4, The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy XII, Valkyria Chronicles and as he mentioned, Demon's Souls are all very innovative recent JRPGs.

Dragon Quest and Pokemon are guilty of staying the same, but they're more popular than ever so I don't see how they can be blamed for the decline.

I think you have all your math mixed up....

 

KOTOR = NWN - Depth + Starwars

 

Your revised math:

JE = NWN + Asia - dpeth

ME = NWN - depth

DA = NWN - depth = Baldur's gate.

Ironic to hear Bioware talk about unoriginality, isn't it?
