Here's a disconcerting fact: the only Square Enix developed game released on the now three-year-old current generation of systems is Last Remnant, which is both secretly a SaGa game and an abomination unto the Lord.
Final Fantasy XIII, whenever the Hell it gets released, will likely be the next Square developed title released for this generation of consoles. Last Remnant released last month: they went two full years without releasing a game for current systems at all.
Odd, isn't it, that SE can't seem to get it together for anything but the DS and PSP these days unless it's a remake or re-release. The Tri-Ace games for 360 are acceptable, if a little obtuse and generic, as was Blue Dragon. Lost Odyssey was probably the best of the lot even if I personally couldn't get into it.
Other than that, there's Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia. That's it.
... So, my question is this: is the traditional console JRPG genre dying, or more likely, going back to being a hardcore niche genre such as fighting games or visual novels? The last genuinely great example of the genre I've played is Persona 4(which I admit was recent, but released after a long drought). The one before that was Persona 3, a year and a half ago. Looking at release lists for the upcoming months reveals that there is nothing at all on the horizon.
The PSP and DS are great and everything, but sitting on the couch with the girlfriend and rocking some turn based action HD style is what I'm after. And it would appear that I'm out of luck in that department.
