Japan won't buy a JRPG made by the west. Ubisoft is crazy for even thinking they could make one that sells as much as Dragon Quest.

how would you know? did a JRPG ever been made by western devs? (if you know any tell me i would like to check it out!)

i know alot of WRPGs made by japan though.

Septerra Core definitely qualifies; it plays almost exactly like a traditional JRPG. There's also Anachronox; I've never played it, but I've heard it described as a JRPG. It was inspired by Chrono Trigger and maintains a small cult following to this day.
