Voted Fire Emblem based on this list, but Xenoblade Chronicles got its US release in 2012, so I'd go for that. 2012 was also when Tales of games came back to the West.
2013 was an amazing year. For me, I found 2009-2012 to be dry years, and I was actually rather disenchanted with gaming by that point. 7th gen was my least favorite generation.
