Innovation isn't always a good thing. Secret of Evermore is different from everything I have played (save for the gameplay being almost a secret of mana copy). The game isn't that fun. Dragon Quest 8 is as generic as a game can get and one of the best I have played. Chrono Trigger didnt do anything new and is the best RPG I have ever played. CT even removed some of the annoying and pointless features every RPG must have nowadays.
Innovation is just a fancy name if you can't make your game more enjoyable.
