ummmm valkyria chronicles and demon's souls are some that come to mind |
Demon's Souls seems more like a (loving) throwback imo. Outside the online component, it's pretty much just a dungeon crawler.
Valkyria's pretty interesting though, and definitely unlike almost everything before it.
JRPGs haven't lost ground in Japan. It's just that the only ones that have been released in HD (I'm assuming he's referring to HD, because the ones on DS are doing splendid, and DQIX is doing fantastic) are on the 360, and what's the install base there? Only a million?
Doesn't matter though. As long as all those companies have their wallets lined with M$ money, it doesn't matter if their games haven't sold so hot on the console they decide to put it on
^ those times are ending. many of the RPG's releasing next year will either be multiplat or PS3 exclusive =)

Final Fantasy XIII and Resonance of Fate definately will revive JRPG genre. Dev must learn lesson that they should never release JRPG only for X360. It shoud be multiplat. I dont think SOIV, IU, LO ,BDwas flop. Those are best selling X360 game in Japan which only has 1.2 million userbase. I expect 9 million for FFXIII and 2.5 million for ROF.
