RPG's dying?

I would rather say that they have been jumping up and down on the same spot for 20 years and that it might feel that they're going the wrong way since they aren't going any way.

Hopefully we'll get more JRPGs in the vein on The World Ends With You. Fun as hell, and a refreshing take on the battle system. Granted, most platforms don't have the freedom of an interface like a touch screen, I still think they can do better than what's currently out on this generation of consoles.

Too much cookie cutter business in the gaming industry. Think about it.
For ever decent game, there are games that copy it. There are usually 1 or 2 that might even come close to calibre, but essentially, it's 1 great, 1-2 chasers, a large rag tag of retards. Dynasty Warriors was sort of fun when it first came out. Then all the sequels chased themselves... then came the Samurai Version, then came the shittier games like 99 Nights, Heavenly Sword... etc.
Gran Turismo. Kept chasing itself. Sort of got better (debatable), then came Forza. What other sims are still screwing around?
Arcade racing... Too many to count. So many shitty ones.
RPGs... within RPGS are several sub genres. Many of you have listed some of the best versions... but seriously. How many failures have you seen? For every decent RPG there has to be at least 7-8 failures (easily). For the record... Demon Souls is a recent game that's a totally interesting piece of work. I recommend it. (But I'll be damned if you do not believe that the game is frustrating)

And even Demon's Souls is just following in the footsteps of earlier Japanese roguelikes, like Baroque.
