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.

well, shooters are like they were in the 90ties also.. the only thing that has maybe changed is physics (=Destruction of Buildings, etc.) and Graphics (sick looking things n sequences).

they are the same shizz too, except for online multiplayer...

(If the RPGs were like FF1, and just now, a game like FF7/8 or.. dunno.. almost every other rpg out there would just come out for the first time, it would be declared a revolution. but since the storytelling is great since more than 10-15 years, the most valuable part of RPGs is already pretty awesome, while the things that matter for shooters are something that gets better and better with hardware, because it gets more realistic and complex everytime a new Console/Graphics Card comes out. look at FFXIII. it is the Shootergame between the rpgs.)
