Will JRPGs Die Next Generation?

[F0X]

JRPGs have a long history of selling handheld consoles, so there's that. On home consoles, it'll be the same as this generation. Every once in a while, home consoles will get a meaty JRPG with decent-enough production values in addition to a litany of smaller games with dedicated fanbases.

I think we're well past the age of big first and second-party RPGs beyond the usual big-name franchises. We're lucky to even get X, as we all know that Nintendo isn't the patron saint of pushing recently-developed first-party IPs.
