You know, I love dem JRPGs. Like, A LOT! But this gen has been less than stellar for the CONSOLE JRPG enthusiast compared to previous gens. Most Japanese devs seem to have moved their resources in developing JRPGs for handhelds, which is cool because we had some epic JRPGs on the DS and PSP, which also seems to be carrying over to the 3DS and hopefully also for the Vita.

That being said, I want to play those amazing fully fleshed JRPG experiences on the consoles which make you go WOW. Although the 360 got its fair share of JRPGs at the beginning of the gen, the quality and quantity just dropped halfway though the current gen. This was the case until very recently where the PS3 has been picking up in this category, showing us a glimmer of hope on what could be the future of JRPGs going forward, i.e. Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xilia, etc. So my hope is that at least the PS4 will continue on with what the PS3 has started in terms of bringing back those classic but fresh JRPG experiences. Maybe the Wii U might even get a fully fledged console Pokemon RPG (doubt it but one can hope right?).

So what do you guys think? Are console JRPGs going the way of the Dodo, or will they make an epic comeback?

I'm waiting for Persona 5 and a "good" Final Fantasy game

This! This! And some more of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will gravitate towards handhelds.

We will see some console JRPGs but mostly from big 3rd parties like Square, Capcom, or 1st parties like Monolith Soft. (Are there Sony 1st party JRPG devs?)

The smaller ones like the Tales guys/Mistwalker might just move on to handhelds once they get powerful enough, or when the dev costs just become too high.

Persona 5
finalfantasy XIV
finalfantasy 14
ni no kuni 2
Tales of ??
kingdom hearts 3

this alone will make the next generation great

the ps4 will probably bring jrpgs back somewhat being easy to develop for which reduces cost which allows smaller companies to make such games to sell less to make money (take deep breath from my run on setance) and it will also most likely be popular in japa.

I think P5 is current gen. Knowing Atlus they will probably make it like P4. It releases right at the end of the PS3's life cycle.

:( i hope not

Tough to say, but I don't really expect many JRPGs on next gen consoles for the first few years. I think they will continue to be predominantly a PS3 (and handheld) affair until the PS3 starts to fade, at which point they will go to which ever console makes the most sense.

Given how late in the generation Persona 3 and 4 came (technically, they came out this generation), I think Persona 5 will be a PS3 game.

I'd rather have P5 on ps4 but whatever.
