If anything this year should have been the 'revivial' for JRPGs, with FFXIII and Resonance of Fate releasing. It didn't really happen though, FFXIII was a hit but left a bitter taste, and Resonance of Fate never really gained momentum. Those are two console JRPG's with far more budget and production value then anything that will realistically hit the west in 2011 - I guess The Last Story has a shot though, but it's still only one game which will have far less impact then FFXIII.
The genre is just fading out in recent years on console it seems, and sadly it doesn't seem like more games (Of large budget and apppeal, at least) are heading that way. I think the genre needs a PSN/XBLA downloadable, 'simpler' type JRPG experience to blow us all away and really do something interesting, as there's next to nothing coming out at retail in 2011 except sequels of games most people ignored.
