Man, this is a question almost as old as the industry itself. You wanna know what Sakaguchi was told when he presented the idea of making an RPG and calling it Final Fantasy to Square? He was told to go fuck himself because those type of games didn't have an audience.
I AM NOT KIDDING, THIS REALLY HAPPENED PEOPLE.

Kind of, but it will always be a more Japanese-oriented market. The way I see it, JRPGs are to Japan the way cinematic shooters are to America (and possibly parts of Europe). They're relatively simple games that focus more on storytelling as opposed to gameplay. They're also pretty light on the difficulty and draw in lots of people as a result.
Now I know it's not exactly the same but I feel like they apply to wide groups of people using similar methods. The only difference being that JRPGs are usually more targeted to the Japanese market while cinematic shooters are more targeted to the American market. Still, the fact that they apply to wide groups of people means they may still perform well in other markets (Uncharted 4 and Call of Duty are some of the best selling games of 2016 in Japan)

With the reaction I'm hearing for the announcement of Live A Live yesterday, I'd say yes.
