Well Forza to Forza Horizon is a great example of success. I would like to see Perfect Dark turn into a 3rd Person Metal Gear Solid style stealth game.

When FF moved from a JRPG to a homoerotic road trip simulator it was still commercially successful.

I'd like to see a Megami Tensei horror game, retaining the RPG elements but just creating an atmosphere in that vein.

Would Shadow Hearts fall into this catagory? Its not a SMT game, but the "horror ish + RPG" is there.

Well i'd love to see a Castlevania game in the veins of Dark Souls. I think that'd be the perfect gameplay to translate it's 2D elements to 3D. Sometimes when playing DS/Bloodborne, it's overall atmosphere, exploration and combat reminds me the way my brain filled the gaps of the classic Castlevanias as a kid. (mainly 1, 2, 3 on the NES and Super Castlevania IV on the Snes). So yeah, a souls-like Castlevania, just think about it...

Also i'd love a TPS Megaman X, in the veins of a MGS: Peace Walker meets Megaman Legends. Missions with different objects, a lot of areas to explore, maverick hunter's base management, find and recruit reploids, rpg elements, etc. It'd be hard to make such idea work, let alone make profit of it, but if done right, i think it would be dope.

I think the Dark Souls-esque Castlevania might work. The atmosphere is already there at least. Don't know if it'll happen though since Konami keeps shitting on the franchise.

The Megaman X TPS could still happen though.

I wish.

I think it'd be hard for Capcom to justify making a TPS Megaman X game. Every time they try something new, it's met with disgust by the fanbase because either it sucked hard (MMX7) or simply because fans prefer the classic gameplay and don't like it changing too much. Also, if they were to make such a game, everybody would complain that it should have been MM Legends 3, since that's already TPS in a sense.

Funnily enough, i think it's easier to see a souls-like Castlevania. It's an easy concept for Konami to copy. I can even see they paying some studio familiar with the gameplay, like the one behind Lords of the Fallen and The Surge, to do it as effortlessly and cheap as possible.
