Soriku, your favorite series are Tales and Kingdom Hearts. You love TWEWY. I don't see how you argue that you don't prefer action RPGs to more traditional RPGs.
Changing up the camera does not equal innovation, and removing free run only takes us back to Team Destiny's earlier 2D battle systems.
Final Fantasy has changed things from each iteration since 6 on. (as 6 -> 7)
FF4->FF6 had some pretty minor changes, but nothing too crazy.
