Are console JRPGs a dying breed, or will they make a comeback next gen?

Lol, that's not a fact. FF XIII is SOOOOOO Japanese it hurts. JRPG have never been truely non-liniar. They have only given the illusion of exploration. WRPGs have always been very open and more about exploration than pure story. JRPG have always been more about story and characters than true exploration. In that regard FF XIII is far more appealing to the Japanese who prize story over exploration.

If FF Vs XIII turns out to be an open world with action adventure combat than it would be far more Western in gameplay than FF XIII.

Maybe I'm wrong because I never played FFXIII... I'm just sharing what SE said... FFvXII is the FF more JRPG style.

BTW For me Demons's is a JRPG.
