I loved JRPG's in it's prime about 15 years ago and wish it would come back. For me, I would believe that the sum of it's parts needs to be greater than it's individual purposes.
I look for a great story, serviceable graphics, great music and a decent combat system. In the story, I don't want it to be over the top, just great. If I want to play a Jerry bruckheimer movie in a game, I'll go play MW3. The game-play needs to be decent too.
I think in the past 5 Years, there hasn't been a great JRPG that's caught my eye since there's nothing bringing me back to what JRPG's were like. It's now a grind fest with flashy visuals which does nothing for me.
