JRPGs are not dead... yet :P For some reason, developers aren't making as many JRPGs as they were during the PS1-PS2 era (at least not on PS3).

There are about as many of the things floating around now as there were back then, they're just not on Playstation systems.  If you want your fix, you'll need a DS.  Production costs have pretty much pushed the genre off of consoles.

Yeah, I know they aren't on PlayStation systems, that's why I said "at least not on PS3". I don't like the DS so I don't think I'll get one. I think I will be getting some JRPGs for the PS2 instead... I've seen a thread here a few weeks ago with a lot of PS2 JRPGs that caught my attention :P.

I hope production costs start dropping fast because I want to see more JRPGs on the PS3. Maybe Sony should do something simillar to what Nintendo did with the Wii and create a PS4 that's basically a PS3 just with a very small upgrade and a change in design. That way production costs should be way lower than they would be if they created a new system 10x times more powerful than the PS3 and we would have more JRPGs on the PS4 :D
