Is this why JRPG's are a dying breed?

And i can say you are wrong, on so many ways.

Care to explain why?

I can come up with example after example after example of games that are on equal playing fields for JRPG's stories and characters but finding a JRPG with gameplay on the same playing field of a good action is pretty rare.

The only thing JRPG's have on action games is they're 2-3 times longer, but that doesn't exactly make them better.

You really think Portal has a great storyline?

thats just laughable, did you play it? 

and about the "Halos, Gears of War , Killzones...ect "  they're very cliche, even the most cliche JRPG has more storyline into it than any of the mentioned above, yes and i do mean those cliche anime JRPGs,i really don't see why you keep making threads about JRPGs dying each month , we get it already you don't like them.

Portal is all about the charming characters.

Halo, Gears of War, and Killzone may all be cliche but how many RPG's are cliche too?  While those games might not be bearly as long, they have just as much story and character development (well, maybe not Killzone...).
