Turn-Based JRPGs are also flagging as a genre; you can kinda tell because new releases make big claims to go back to 'traditional gameplay styles' rather than really progressing in any way. DQ9 and 4 Heroes of Light are good examples.
Doesn't help that some of the most popular JRPGs have the worst mechanics. The ATB system has always been terrible. Forever.
