Agreed. JRPGs this gen have been terrible compared to previous gens. It looks like your question has mostly been answered so I'll leave it at that.
Well, there is one game I could add. You should try Catherine. It's not a JRPG by any means but if you are looking for a game with some Japanese flavor to it and you are a fan of the Persona series (same team made this game), you should check it out.
