Story / Setting
There's always some kind 'magical' world with all kinds of intrigue religiously, politically, ethnically -- but it all unfurls rather slowly. That, or you're a high school student. Many JRPGs try so hard to be ambitious on this front, that they fail to be interesting at all.
What about a JRPG about being a lumberjack? Or being an insect exterminator? There are a lot of other simple plotlines that could be really fun to enjoy as a JRPG.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
