They never even declined much. JRPGs declined during the PS3 gen, but thats about it.

Even during the 360/PS3 era while you can definitely say the devs had a rough time keeping up with console budgets for the genre, jrpgs was still trucking along and having some real good ones on the portables of the time period. DS and psp.

Imo they never left aside from having a bump in the road for console releases for a bit of that generation.

They never went anywhere; Triangle Strategy, Tales of Arise even, Soul Hackers 2, FF XVI, many more I can't list. We're just getting a high quantity of good quality in the last few years finally to break us out of the dogshit GaaS titles

That's a good point. People usually forget about the handhelds here.

Understandable but you missed out imo. Luckily most of them are playable on computers now.

And the first two quarters of 2024 look amazing, too.

Bunch of you are old fogeys. RPGs might not good as PS2 era ,but they're still making good rpgs.At least, I still do have my favorite rpgs that are almost always great.

Atelier series
Dragon Quest series
Persona series
Legend of Heroes

Disgaea series and Star Ocean series may had make mediocre games for once ,but they made come back with Disgaea 7 and Star Ocean 2nd Story R. Star Ocean 6 isn't that bad game either.

Tales of series might have slipped bit ,but the games are pretty good too.
