Here is why thread is still not accurate:

Shining is accurate example of a JRPG series migrating away from consoles. The last Shining game on a console was on PS2. Since then handheld.

How can wild arms be disappearing from consoles when more than half its series is on consoles? There has been no wild arms since X Fire. We cant say it disappeared from consoles when there are no new installments to prove that.

What you really want to say is "dormant JRPG series". That still Wouldn't be accurate... Legend of Mana was not ment to be a its own series, its a installment of the series. Mana has had many mainline installments since then

Or maybe the lastest "JRPG console releases"


Is this really worthy of argument?  

Absolutely. The original thread title was Dead JRPG series. That was about 90% true. Legend of Legaia and Shadow Hearts are the only legimate dead Ip's. The rest of those have had sequels (just not where the op wants them) or spiritual successors. To flat out deny the existence of a installment just because its not where you want or you pretty generize and say most handheld versions suck is ugh. Mainline console installments can suck too. Are we going to pretend they dont exist? X Fire was better than the last 2 WA's. VP DS was also great game. 3rd Birthday had a absolutely horrendous anime story, game was aswesome though. 

 We want to see our JRPG's back on consoles, me included, but the way we throw dead or even disappearing around in here is wrong. DQ9, VP: CoP, suikoden DS, All the mana, and shining ext. They exist. Its ok to 5 6 7 years for next installment people.

What this thread is really saying is "This is the last time this series was on a console"  minus XENOSAGA,PHANTASY STAR and SHINING FORCE, where I dont think he knows those ended and got spiritual successors. They didnt die or disappear.
