Home Console JRPG's are dying unfortunatley. Japanese developers just don't seem to be making them very much this gen, I blame all the shooters.

I blame JRPG developers for not creating innovative or interesting JRPGs. Graphics aside they are basically the same old crap we've been playing since the 16-bit days.

Deveopers of shooters have greatly raised the bar in that genre.

It could also be that all the good JRPG's this gen generally don't leave Japan so we are left with shit like FFXIII and the Last Rebellion.
