Jrpg's are asocial games. 

Pokemon and Monster Hunter beg to differ.  Hell, even Dragon Quest has "gone social" this gen.

As well as the entire Crystal Chronicles series (except for Crystal Bearers) and White Knight Chronicles.

 

And Secret of Mana.  Hell, even the old Final Fantasy games used to let you play the battles in multiplayer.
