Nobuo and Amano working with Idea! Factory on the sequel to Fairy Fencer F! Quite frankly it was a fantastic title. Not sure if this one will be out this year (I'm expecting a 2016 release), but damn we have some good stuff in the works.
It is making a bit of a comeback. Which is certainly overdue.
Although I would include games like Cosmic Star Heroine, Fire Emblem and Festival of Magic before I included Bloodborne. The whole Souls series is completely culturally western. In the same way MGS is culturally western. I doubt the creators would dispute that. It's a good thing to have devs from around the world making products based on other cultures. Adds to the variety.
While I won't deny that, compared to the PS2 generation, the previous gen had a bit of a drought of good JRPGs compared to the gen before it, but let's also not forget that last console generation saw the birth of one of the greatest games of all time in the form of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.
I would hardly say Ni no Kuni was one of the greatest games of all time, but I did not at all regret buying and playing it. If it didn't have the agonizingly long tutorial and hand-holding section it would have been really great.
Xenoblade Chronicles, on the other hand, is most certainly one of the best games of all time
That could be. I haven't played it. Few things make me more sad than great games trapped on systems I will never own. It's like an even worse version of region-locking.
I think the popularity of Xenoblade Chronicles is what brought back the JRPG genre for consoles. Or at least it was a significant contributor. I may buy WiiU just for it, or maybe hold out for Nintendo's next system assuming it is backwards compatible.

I think I saw Mirage streaming it on Dolphin emulator. So there's that.
Definitely was a drought last Gen. Xenoblade and Tales of Xillia were my biggest enjoyments. It was an eight year generation or more. So there was definitely a lot. But not many grabbed me. Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean, Last Story, Infinite Undicovery, Nier, just to name a few I tried and felt no desire to play more than ten hours or so.
This Gen is set to have a lot more high profile games. Last then had a lot that were to niche for me. And way too much focus on handheld games as far as JRPGs are concerned
