Would you say Tales and Persona are currently the rare exception?...I mean, where they´re gaining popularity in the West and not in decline. |
I think as the genre has shrunk and many series have died their is opportunity for sales with less competition than ten-fifteen years ago. Tales in many respects has become the new standard for solid JRPGs and Namco seem to be more comfortable bringing games westward.
Persona is a great series, it's main issue is how late in console cycles 3 & 4 released and 5 will. I knew several people that passed on 4 due to moving on to next generation of systems at the time and then discovered it on Vita. I hope the series can continue to grow, but I worry how conservative Japanese companies can be about taking a risk and getting a game like this out in the first year or so of a console's life cycle.
