I also think the move to shooters is resulting in companies hesitating to localize some of the great jRPGs out there. For Tales of Graces, it took alot of begging on facebook before they considered it. Then there is the situation with Xenoblade right now in America.

Personally, I suck at shooters and am okay with all the other genres. Unfortunately, these days, suck at shooters = suck at video games.

Ya, the death of RPG's really bothers me. I'm a lifelong RPG fan since playing the first Dragon Warrior game as a kid. I do hope they bring out Xenoblade Chronicles to the U.S.
