Then again, Pokémon (the first and only big RPG franchise that started on handhelds) is 15 years old.

More recent than FF, Fire Emblem, Tales and DQ.

And if you count Persona, you can count Mario and Luigi, Dragon Quest Monsters, Megaman Battle Network, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon... many others.

And there's Ni No Kuni, Inazuma Eleven, Little Battlers Xperience (all big only in japan, but I think that's what the dev meant)

It really wouldn't be fair to compare Persona with already established franchises like Mario & Luigi and Dragon Quest Monsters and Megaman Battle Network and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon...

Square's Next "Epic" RPG pertains to franchises like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts. All on consoles.

I think you know what I mean.
