PSx jrps, arranged by worldwide sales for all RPGs, come in at positions 

9 11 21 28

 

Same thing for DS

3 8 19 23 26 38 41 44

 

JRPGs are more alive than they ever have been.

Yeah, no.

Take out of that list Pokemon and Mario games and... any other game that don't have a damn story... how many do you get?

Now, pepole who are "JRPG fans" are usually fans of the genre because of the fact that JRPGs used to have great stories, and they say the genre is dead because there are almost no more JRPGs with great, engaging stories.

Games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden 2 etc etc.

Although Pokemon and the Mario games are JRPG in their genre because of their battle system, they don't share the same userbase and the same fans with games like Final Fantasy, Xenowhatever etc etc.

Lol

 

So the genre you were looking for is Story Base Japanese Role Playing Games That RageBot Likes

SBJRPGTRBL

That is also the "genre" that jonager, or pretty much 99% of anyone who actually refers to the genre "JRPG" would like.
