The main reason JRPGs are failing in recent years isn't as much the duration as it is the voice acting.
In the silent age it wasn't as apparent, but once the better graphics and the voice acting became a thing, the anime influences became obvious, along with the cheesiness, the cliches and the bad dubing.
The best Jrpgs now are those who do something different like the Souls series, the persona games that have good dubbing and unique style, and Xenoblade Chronicles that got dubbed in the EU and thus it felt different.
