Forums - Gaming Discussion - JRPGs...What the hell happened to you?

JRPGs are the same as they were 10 years ago -- it's not really a "what happened to them?" kind of them, more like what hasn't.

It may have something to do with the cost of development nowadays and the fact that your average JRPG never sold to much more than your neighborhood

 

Developmental costs are no substitute for a good storyline. Remember this. Dev costs only revolve around how you're going to accomplish making the game from what you brainstormed. JRPG's aren't selling as much as they should because the PS3 price is still too high and Japanese is waiting for the PS3 price to lower itself and more JRPG's to land on that system.

This, thats what I was trying to say JRPG's have not been evolving like they hopefully FF13 gives it freshness
