What I mean is that JRPG genre is in decline.
In Japan only most famous saga sell well like KH,DQ and FF so these series are potentialy the ones that can decide where to go because their potential sales will cover development cost.
Development cost ( and limited potential customers for the genres ) is the real problem of JRPG. Traditionally this is a genre with high development time and cost.
So JRPG with HD assets will cost alot more than before and the potential sales are not that great if you are not named FF,KH or DQ.
This is why JRPG reinnascience go throght DS with its cheap developmen cost. Series like ToS aren't so big and their appeal on japanese market it's declining overall. So with ToV Namco did the same with ToS on GC. They aim for western markets and take money from a first party for exclusivity ( and they both were seen like biggest JRPG on that platforms because there wasn't FF competition).
In the case of FF13 ( and MGS ) is obvious that SCE secured its exclusivity with money because FF and MGS along GT are considered the herald of Playstation gaming.
I think that SE is in a lot of problem this generation.
