No company, because the genre is becoming obsolete.


As long as Sakaguchi is around FF level games will exist. The problem is without Square the marketing sucks.

What I meant was that the genre itself is beginning to show its age more and more as time passes. The JRPG core of plot twists and simplified Ultima and Wizardry gameplay was new and innovative some time ago, but now with western RPG games evolving and diversifying, and JRPG stagnating in many areas, they are becoming more and more niche.

That's my general impression anyway.

This is why games like Versus are so anticipated. If it succeeds Square will figure out how to make a Japanese centric RPG that is focused on action and fluidity that can stand amongst western action/rpg types. They have the right idea putting the Kingdom Hearts team on the job.
