Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studio Shuhei Yoshida and Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan and Asia President Atsushi Morita both recently sat down for a chat with Dengeki Online and Famitsu, and the questioning came around to the likes of Wild ARMs and Arc the Lad, PlayStation-era JRPGs that helped put Sony on the map.

What chances did they have of coming back again?

Yoshida and Morita replied with fondness towards the idea, but the translation reportedly includes a lot of “maybes” and “considering.” It makes sense since Sony has to duke it out on a global scene now with Microsoft and doesn’t really have the resources to sink into massive JRPGs since other genres have proven more profitable and less risky since the days of the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

Saw this being talked about here, looks like classic and future series might not have much of a future?
 
I think exclusive JRPG's will be limited on PS4, as they want their games to cater to the world in terms of exclusives. They might do some medium tier titles in the JRPG scene. I think also PC is catching up for JRPG games according to an interview I read recently, so the benefits of sinking that money in may be less for Sony.
