I have to agree on the lack of new IPs in the genre. Competent new entries that are Btier in scope and budget would help a lot. Hopefully Tokyo RPG Factory can start doing better. (But come to think of it, that SE is even trying to out together a group like TRPGF is a massive leap from gen 7)
As for the "JRPGs never went anywhere" posts, yes they did. They went to handhelds, or died an ugly death on mobile like Breath of Fire. Now I've had a lot of fun with entries in DS/3DS/Vita, but point is they left consoles. And as great and awesome as those handheld entries are, they're just not the same as a console JRPG experience. Not necessarily worse, just not the same. So yea, I was talking explicitly about the console scene, but maybe the context and wording of my original post didn't stress that enough?
