Why are JRPG's still being built the way they are? ( long read)

JRPGs really needed to take elements from other genres like WRPGs did and evolve instead of relying on the same staples.

Xenoblade really showed how incompetent a lot of Square's games this gen were. By far the most "modernized" JPRG of the gen. And that was on the gaddang Wee with likely less than 1/5th of FF13's budget.

Now if only it was easier for other people to actually get their hands on it and play some. Stupid NOA.

WRPG's dilute the RPG experience. When I watch/play a WRPG they always look/feel like other genres with RPG elements tacked on.
