I don't think they need to re-establish themselves. JRPGs are JRPGs. They're a definition in themsevles, and they're usually a definition of quality and enjoyment. The issue just arises in that they can't be the top genre due to the current lame demand for gaming. In a world where the generation of gamers that grew up with Final Fantasy are now older and have less time to game, then delving into a long RPG is difficult (not for the want of trying though). This, coupled with the current multiplayer obsession, has caused the rampage of all subpar piles of tripe that has become the FPS genre. However, due to the multiplayer and the usual high expense that surrounds JRPGs when compared to the normal western FPS, these will continute to rule, in my opinion. The only way they could re-establish themselves to be the top genre would be for every JRPG to be conducted in first person, with an AK-47, with terrorists.. and I would quit gaming forever if that occured.
