It's unfair that so many niche devs find Vita to be a valid platform, yet no big player cares to grace it with any big franchise game.

Agree with your disappointment, but the two things could be related. Vita is struggling, big developer/franchises desert it, hence an opportunity opens up for dungeon crawler, otome games and other niche products to shine and have some play and attention from the users.

On the other hand, little developers could avoid Nintendo because they can't compete with Mario or Pokemon.

The thing that gets me though, is why can't the big devs make smaller titles, similar to these niche games and slap the name of their big franchise on it. I'm aware there is no chance to get a full-blown FF game, etc. but they could form a small team that would make a similar dungeon crawler with FF flavour. Just like Hyrule Warriors is a typical musou game but with Zelda flavour slapped on it. I mean, they make these shitty mobile games, why not make such small projects? It's not like Japanese devs have found much success with their top products in the last gen. Oh well, I'm still mainly interested in older wRPGs and I'm still hoping Sony ports some of them soon.
