With open world rpgs like Skyrim, Fallout, etc. Jrpgs just can't complete. They'll sell well in Japan but outside of Japan they don't anymore. The lineal paths and lack of choices have hurt jrpgs

Thats just not true.Nier Automata, Nioh, Dark Souls and many more had and has excellent sales in the west, and they are all JRPGs.Now, if you mean turn based RPGs, there are FE, Pokemon, Persona, DQ(of which I have a very good feeling that XI will do very well on the west) Bravely Default and many other smaller and bigger franchises finds succeesses in the west.You dont need to sell millions upon millions to be considered a succeess.

Your first list of names aren't your traditional jrpg. They're way more action oriented. They didn't have excellent sales in west. Don't know what your idea of excellent sales. Skyrim had excellent sales
