No. Other than Final Fantasy and Kingdom no JRPG will sell well on consoles. Outdated gameplay mechanics.

Dark Souls is not a traditional JRPG so it shouldn't be listed.

I sure hope it is. That's one of the things that sucked about the PS3. It hardly had any JRPGs.

It's an action RPG made in Japan, it's a JRPG JRPGs don't need to be games with feminine males and underage catgirls that appeal to weeaboos.

They dont call them JRPGs because they are made in Japan, do you ever hear Jplatformer? Or JFPS? Or JPuzzle game?

Theres a reason they call them JRPG, because they are almost a completely different genre compared to WRPG.

Your inability to understand doesn't change anything and you trying to act silly with the whole j this and j that isn't helping you any. At least it is amusing.

The list is missing Project X from Monolith Soft; Though we don't know what genre it is but it looks like it will be an RPG.

Fact is that nobody would call a game JPlatformer, USFPS or EURPG. So why are there JRPGS? Because there are obviously enough differences in terms of gameplay to warrant a differentiation. It's no rocket science that JRPGS aren't just called JRPGS because they are made in Japan. So there's really no need to sit on your high horse and insult others.

You mention Final Fantasy titles but do not mention quality games like Monster Hunter which capcom recently released Tri and will be releasing Quad in 2014. Whole Discussion is laughable at best.

Time and Eternity doesn't count.
Half of those are either old games or handheld (and I ain't liking dem handhelds) so no, it certainly is not.

Japanese Role Playing Game = JRPG

Besides, JRPG/WRPG aren't genres.

This argument was solved a while back No one came to an agreement on whether the souls series was a WRPG or a JRPG, so we let it die as a western styled role playing game from Japan. (WSRPG/WSJRPG)

Too biased towards Sony, and if Dark Souls isn't JRPG because of its style, Avatar the Last Airbender isn't a western animation under your logic.

Lol no, JRPGs are irrelevant. It would be like year of hockey games, or year of MMOs. It's just not gonna happen.

You list crap such as Time and Eternity and Ys but not Xenoblade II, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Project X Zone?Â
