Do you know why there are hardly any Western RPGs out?
It's cause the developers know they will fail terribly.
About 1/8 of gamers will only be interested in that genre whilst shooters and platoformers will appeal to more gamers and tend to be much more succesful.
Many people love FInal Fantasy, I played Crisis Core on the PSP and it was really hyped-up but it didn't sound as good as people claim to say so after I played the game.
Exactly, RPGs aren't today's popular theme. Shooters, platformers and other games are what appeal more to today's audience. RPGs are time consuming, wastes money and really, the publisher/developer is not gunna get much profit out of these games.
I like RPG games but it depends. If some team from Japan decides to make some game in Japanese, that's gunna be a greater fail.
RPGs just aren't popular as they used to be.
