I think its a little to early to call it a comeback, We are nowhere near the popularity of the PS1 era or hell even last gen, and it might be too late for us to get there this gen. But thank NIS, Xseed, NamcoBandai? and even SE's bumasses for trying. Just waiting for NOA to follow
That was a brilliant article, very well written and...true.
It's nice to see JRPG's making a comeback and it's nice to see them on the right console too.

where is the nintendo trolling? i don't see it, he is right Nintendo constantly refuses to bring JRPGs to the west, even on the older consoles , Earthbound for example.

You are right, there isn't any Nintendo trolling.

"I doubt the 3DS – or Nintendo hardware, in general – is anyone’s go-to RPG platform"
I doubt that they aren't... really.
This article is too early and mostly designed to say woot PS3 and woot Vita... with some 3DS on the side... so meh.

Makes me wonder, if that guy ever owned a DS (Arguably the go-to device for JRPG fans this generation, despite what the article says about Nintendo hardware). The whole site seems to have a strong bias in favour for a specific company.
The DS has kept me busy in the jrpg department..but its going to be great to finally play some HD Jrpgs in the near future

This article seems so sony sided lol. I mean large amounts of people baught a ps3 to play jrpgs? I doubt it they sold around the same as they have last gen and probably more than the gen before that in america and europe. I hate when people say this gens jrpgs cant compete with last or the ps1 eras. I dont agree I can name a few rpgs this gen with better everything than the ps1 era had. to me this gen and last gen had the best jrpgs but eh.
The day when people in the West finally realize there are other jRPGs besides Final Fantasy that are higher quality is when the genre will turn a corner.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

That day will never come.
