RPGs overall have been lacking this generation and this game looks like it isn't going to do any justice.

Of course I can always get my Final Fantasy and Star Ocean fix from Square-Enix. However Nintendo is being retarded and doesn't want to localize very promising games. Also to me the WRPG genre is still as piss poor as it always have been excluding the Mass Effect games and MAYBE Dragon Age (for me).

Hopefully next generation they can amek a comeback.

No.

JRPG's are shrinking as a genre. And people, don't jump me with all that "but handheldzzzzzz" argument... the situation on the PSP and DS is less than stellar aside from a few exceptions...

Well, that's totally subjective. Look at my JRPG/SRPG divide, for example:

DS: 17
PSP: 9 (out of 10 games, more to come)
Wii PS3 360: 9 (number could go up or down a couple depending on your definition of a JRPG)

On topic, I can tell that this game isn't for me just by looking at the screens, but I've never been a fan of the Luminous Arc/Sakura Wars/Agarest type JRPGs.

I know that there are numbers, but honestly, the quality is so-so for the most part IMO... perhaps my standards or on the rise yet again after playing some brilliant stuff in the face of Disgaea, Chrono Trigger, and P3FES.
