I'm just so happy Nier is getting a sequel
I just wish I had enough time to play the ones that were recently released to be honest. Next year is going to be crazy for Japanese games in general. Looking forward to 2017.
Your forgetting about Tales of Berseria (PS4) coming to NA in Jan, Trails of Cold Steel II (Vita) dropped in Sept, World of FF (PS4/Vita) dropped in Oct, same for Exist Archive (PS4/Vita), so yeah, it's great to be an RPG fan right now!
Not to mention Ys VIII (PS4/Vita), DQ XI (PS4), and NNK2 (PS4) all planned (hopefully) for next year, so yeah hype!
What high profile Japanese games are coming out next year?
RE7
Gravity Rush 2
Yakuza 0
Nioh
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Nier Automata
And that's only the tip of the iceberg / Q1
If you want to get a bit more niche
Digimon
Tales of Berseria
Summon Night 6
Atelier Firis
Birthdays The Beginning
Dark Rose Valkyrie
God Wars Future Past
Ys VIII is probably next year as well. AND I haven't even touched handheld/PC only games.
Forgetting Tokyo Mirrage Sessions #FE already? =(

Tokyo Xanadu should be out next year on Vita.
Hoping we get a Ys VIII announcement soon.
Thinking Zelda BotW will be delayed again? =(
Are they porting this to the Switch?? I'd love to play it, but no longer have a Wii U.
My wallet is crying. Nights of azure 2 is coming over in 2017 too right?RE7

Gust need to stop playing and announce blue reflections is coming so I can get my sailor moon on.
Not to my knowledge, but it was more aimed at him not mentioning a recent JRPG.
There were more - and better RPG's being released in the west during the PSX days.
Persona 5 got delayed again to April so its not really coming that soon.
I want to get into PS3 JRPGs though I've been seeing a lot of new ones come out there.
Those games aren't made on FFXV style budgets, 300k is probably a decent return for them. I'd also be surprised if World of Final Fantasy didn't sell more than DQ Builders
You guys should give Tales of Berseria a try when it come out. It's good
How does it compare to Zestiria?

Which ones? Also, I doubt more were released if we're going across PS3/PS4/Vita/PC/Wii U/3DS
We're in an era where fewer companies are making RPGs than ever, so while it might be nice to get several high-tier RPGs all in a short time period, the B-tier RPG is pretty much extinct. It doesn't feel like a renaissance, just a period where the stars aligned for the handful of companies still putting these games out.

Back up on that last part please, need a sauceAlso: looks like there will be a Xenoblade Chronicles X port for the Nintendo Switch and Monolith might tease a new Switch RPG in January. How cool is that?
Don't forget Yakuza Zero coming out in a couple of months!
What do you consider Atelier, 7th Dragon, Experience DRPGs, Summon Night, Exist Archive, God Wars, Dark Rose Valkyrie, Blue Reflection to be? Are those not B Tier JRPGs?

Plenty I've forgotten I'm sure, and a few popular ones I personally think are trash (IE chrono cross) not on my list, but I'd take it over this gen in a second. And if you're saying PS3 because there are still games coming out for it now, I could easily add later SNES games like Super Mario RPG and Breath of Fire II.
Hell, if you add in the non-localised stuff it's a TKO. I know you're specifically talking about the west, but the massive drop in JRPG's in Japan is very telling.
