Sure, we still have effort from the western front with things like Fallout, Elder scrolls, fable etc. But JRPGs have completely gone to shit. X-2 was an abomination that was based solely on playing dress up with sailor-moon-esque inbattle loadscreens, and 12 was like playing an MMORPG without other people begging for gold. 11 I didn't even feel the need to play, it ruined its own reputation with me when they said it would be a MMORPG for consoles.
PSone had loads of good RPGs SaGa Frontier 1&2 being my favorite.
Fable and Elder scrolls are both terrible.
I said effort, not good games. Western developers are still trying to make playable games. Japanese devs are making interactive movies. Also, Morrowind was one of the best WRPGs I've ever played, don't let things like Oblivion destroy your idea of an old series.
