Probably better than the last decade, Skyrim, Witcher 3, Obsidian's throwback games, Disco Elysium, Divinity OS 1 and 2. No big tentpole JRPGs like last decade though but still a lot of solid stuff in that space. Unless you count FromSoft's output as JRPGs because everything they put out this decade was fantastic.

Etrian Odyssey put out five games, and the two I played were outstanding. One Way Heroics was the JRPG-Roguelike I never knew I wanted. Countless JRPGs got official PC ports.

The 2000's had the ps2 library but was also incredibly hurt by the ps3/360 era which killed a lot of momentum in the transition to HD.

this decade had drakengard 3 and both niers, tales of graces f, tales of berseria, trails of cold steel and probably a bunch of other stuff i'm forgetting that i really really liked. i think the main reason there are less big new "tentpole" rpgs these days is because people have much less limited exposure to the genre now that more games are getting localized so we have more to look forward to in a single year than the biggest of the big, and the general environment of games is shifting a bit, so the circumstances that could lead to something like a ff7 or a chrono trigger are kinda rare these days, much more games focusing on filling niches while games that go for a more general appeal tend to get crowded out by other genres in the west in terms of mainstream popularity

i like the maken x manga done by the author of dorohedoro that's basically just dorohedoro action scenes like a couple years before they started dorohedoro you can tell when dorohedoro started because it's when the maken x manga abruptly ends in the lamest way possible lol

Trying to judge games on a decade by decade level is kind of pointless. There are trends I guess that games kind of follow to connect them but even then no trend is objectively good and is going to appeal to everyone. So what trends you like will shape what decade you prefer.

Personally I really enjoyed this decade and found it far better than the previous. Standout RPGs to me were: The Witcher 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Fallout: New Vegas, and Dark Souls. Personally I wasn't too fond of the 2000s, outside of Dragon Quest VIII, Troika titles, and Megaten there wasn't too much I cared for. I've never played Baldurs Gate though.

We'll try to improve next decade.

which Battle Network was just entirely a tournament? kid me loved those games and even then i knew that was some lazy bullshit the problem with comparing decades is a lot of games from last decade did not age well at all despite being great when they came out. the amount of QoL improvements we get should almost automatically put any decade ahead of the last.

I think Persona 5 is one of the greatest RPGs of all-time and I think I'd never want to replay it. The game just isn't long it is also so exhausting.

The sheer length of it and its story really soured me on it by the end. I really can't imagine wanting to buy an "ultimate" version that makes it longer. It's a shame because the soundtrack was amazing and it oozed style.

I remember reading someone's impressions of P5 Royal where they were giving examples of small new scenes that were added (ones not related to The New Content), and it seemed like a real "this is the opposite direction you should be moving" situation.
