I was trying to think of a good Turn based JRPG style  type game made by a western dev and realized that I couldn't think of one.  So I wondered if there have been any notable ones that I couldn't think of.

But the question I have is which western developer has the talent to make a blockbuster Turn based RPG?  Or is it soley the Japanese who can make them.

Ultima franchise and also Wizardtry.  These are both the foundation for JRPGs and come out of western developers.  You can also think of XCom as having RPG like elements I believe.

As of now, considering the state of Final Fantasy, I would ask: Who in JAPAN can make a blockbuster turn-based JRPG?  Turn-based is a style not too many are developing in today, with XCom likely the biggest one most recently.
