The problem is what nobody wants "new concepts" or "new original ideas" in jRPGs. I thought Square-Enix's latest sales reports pretty much proved it. People would rather buy Dragon Quest V for the 4th time than something original like TWEWY.
Check the reactions of some people on FFXII - "What?! Not turn-based?! No random encounters?!!!!!!!!!! No world map?!!!!!!!!! WTF is that shit I am not gonna play this!!!!"
No, new ideas wont help the company to stay alive. Wada has just admited that, and we just dont want to.
