So, now that we're really close to Final Fantasy XIII (The japanese release atleast), I thought it might be appropriate to name your best JRPG this gen (portables are, of course, viable). When FF13 comes out I'm sure loads of people will list it as the best, so let's see what people have to say about the JRPGs so far this gen.

Personally, for me, it's a tossup between Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia. I really don't want to choose either of them, but if I have to I'll go with Tales of Vesperia due to the co-op aspect of the Tales-series.

I haven't played TOV yet, so I have to go with Lost Odyssey. I really, really liked that game.

Demon's Souls.

Seriously, even though I have loved a lot of JRPG's this gen, no game has come close to touching the sheer awesomeness that is Demon's Souls.
These two weeks that i'm without a PS3, not playing it and the fact that I lost my level 134 character because of my PS3 breaking down hurt me more than the loss of the PS3 itself :P

I'd say Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls if they counted. But if you want FF-styled gameplay, then it's a tough pick between LO and ToV indeed.

Lets see, I've played tons on PSP (and one or two on DS), but none really amazed me as much as Valkyria Chronicles.
Having that said, I still played some console RPGs; Demon's Souls, Folklore, Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

Valkyria Chronicles.

To me, it's easily Vesperia, followed by Radiant Dawn and Vakyria.

Though Demon Souls was made in Japan, it's genre is clearly WRPG. :P

So far its Lost Odyssey but that could change very soon and I haven't played TOV yet except the demo which was fun. It took me over 90 hours to beat LO and I had a blast doing it.

Pokemon Platinum, Valkyria Chronicles, The World Ends With You, FF7: Crisis Core

they are the best! {note I have not played any of the xbox 360 JRPG's}

As for the future, the first person to guess my favorite JRPG in the future gets a hug from my dog!

Lost Odyssey

just for the clarification anyone
Demon's Souls is a WRPG
Folklore is not an RPG
Valkyria is a SRPG

my favourite JRPG is Lost Odyssey.
