JRPGs are dying, yes there hasnt been a good one in a while, everyone looks like cloud strife, the plot is usually very predictable, completely linear plot etc etc BUT bioware has made some frigging awesome wrpgs in the last decade or so and most are contenders for the best game ever title
The RPGs of old are definitely dying. But classics like Final Fantasy still live on. I agree with superguy, JRPGs are dying, WRPGs are starting to rule
