I was really hoping that FC would have made it onto Steam for the holidays, but that didn't happen, so I'm also doing NG+ on my PSP right now.
Started Radiant Historia on the DS yesterday and already 6 hours in. I really like the game so far and it seems to be a perfect mixture of traditional and more modern JRPGs. The graphic style reminds me of SNES gems whereas the interesting grid battle system keeps the turn based combat exciting (a feat which many traditional JRPGs fail to achieve imo).
And of course the soundtrack is superb as one can expect of Yoko Shimomura!

At the moment, Tales of Xillia. I had started Ni No Kuni a few months ago but got sidetracked by other games (in the same boat with ToX for that matter too since I've really only been playing AC IV since Christmas).
I'm in the last third of Xillia so I'll probably pick Ni No Kuni back up afterwards.

Persona 4 Golden and Bravely Default - both are very very excellent and I have nothing but superlative things to say about them.
Playing through TitS right now, first time through. Only in Chapter 1 so far, but really liking the dialogue and the characters. Very charming.

I don't know if it is just me or I can't finish jrpg games like I used to. The usual pattern is that I would pick up a good title, put in 10-20 hrs, then wiki the ending plot and never touch it again....

I miss the Lunar games. =(
This morning I've been getting immersed into the the English translation of this game:
I couldn't resist, after seeing the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3smfBzIJcH4
and even though I already have the DS version.

Been plowing through Radiant Historia because I want to finish my NDS backlog and get started on Bravely Default. It's a slow game; battles tend to take a bit too long for my liking, and I would have liked some more and better equipment choices (I have 100.000 gold and nothing to spend it on?) but it has a certain oldschool charm, great music, and cool characters so I'm sticking with it (it's also not all that long I think).

Right now, the DS remake of Dragon Quest IV Chapters of the Chosen.
I quit IV.
I may try VI.
Done with Ys : Memories of Celceta I started Etrian Odyssey Untold I'm at 15 + hours (why there is no timer in this game ?) on story mode, and I'm also playing the demo of Bravely Default.
I also started Atelier Totori during the holidays but quit , I really don't like the fact that your are timed in a RPG and i don't feel like redoing everything to get the normal ending .

Xenosaga 3. It's amazing.
For some reason the EO games never have one. But at least on the 3DS you can just look up your time in the Activity Log.
Edit: To actually contribute something: I'm currently playing SMT IV and Earthbound. I should be somewhere in the middle of SMT, for some reason it's starting to get pretty easy, bosses go down prety fast with Stun Needles.

Made a start on One Piece Romance Dawn last night, played for about an hour and I really like the combat system, but the rest of the game is kind of... crap.
Does the entire thing consist of Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 level dungeon designs where it's a shitload of corridors leading to a boss fight or do things change up some as it goes?

Yeah I finished Celceta the other day, really enjoyed it, and before that I ripped through Fire Emblem. I need to get back to Etrian Odyssey but I also need to find some way to enjoy it without the game feeling like a chore...
My eldest daughter has been playing through DQIV for the first time and I'm really missing an old school DQ like that.
No Bravely in the States yet

Well for me it's the opposite, EO series is very addicting for me I really like the map drawing mechanics and with the new story mode it is a much better game ( I hope they do another story mode like that in the next game) .

Just picked up final fantasy dimensions for like $8. Loving the retro feel and vibrant colors, brilliant thus far (4ish hours in).

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen
A JRPG that I actually enjoy playing. I swore them off a few years ago, but decided to try this and Dark Souls. Dark Souls is too hard but I will attempt again in the future.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Persona 4 Golden
Why'd you quit DQ IV?
The Last Story is pretty short, so your chances are good to finish it in time.

Bravely Default on the 3DS and Y's Origin on PC. Both have been a lot of fun so far.
Currently playing Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift and I'm surprised how fun it is. I was itching to play an SRPG but the lighter tone and colourfulness of the screenshots put me off, considering how great FFT and Tactics Ogre were, which I enjoyed thoroughly due to their more mature turn.
Learning abilities seems to take a bit longer than I expected and I find myself rotating jobs just to make use of the AP and not let it go to waste rather than having a well thought out team build. Hopefully this'll resolve itself as I get more clan members and start to specialize I guess. The story is also a bit hit-and-miss too but that doesn't bother me too much, I adore Ivalice and it's lore and it just makes me want FFXII IZJS HD so much more!
