See for me it isn't dead at all. HANDHELDS is where it is at, if console only users can't accept that than they are missing out.

This is also true, forgot about this.

Though, to be honest, I prefer home console JRPGs over handhelds like... A lot. I don't know why...

I mostly enjoy handhelds mainly due to fact they have old school SNES/PS1 era feel...which I believe is the Golden Age.

very true but with DS JRP's is that theres to many in the same series, I wish there was more series variety

Yes. Those and the Wii tend to be the place where JRPGs are landing at this place. Apparently JRPGs aren't dependent upon full-motion video cut scenes to work. I had thought that Final Fantasy VII totally changed the rules, but apparently that wasn't the case.

plenty of JRPG's.... I believe the PS3 has the most JRPG's comming out of the three consoles

^I say that because the 360 has if not the same amount as the PS3. So really your belief is almost wrong considering half of the JRPG's that are releasing are going to be on the 360 also.

i hope so cause this is my favourite genre and u no i want to actually own a console next gen and not just handhelds lol. Yes an FF game will definitely help but it needs to bring in newcomers b/c the FF fanbase is getting older and the series is not going to age with us so they have to atract newcomers if they want to thrive

@vrock: the xbox 360 doesn't have any announced exclusives right now and to come to think of it neither does the ps3. Maybe two or three jrpg exclusive. I'm not home to clarify so don't quote me in that but to my memory half of if not all of the jrpgs that will be released are multiplatform.
