I hope it's not happening. The medium needs to go forward, not have millions of dollars thrown at a plot, characters and gameplay systems that were created 15 years ago, just to update them.

That is hilarious. How did moving towards FFXIII felt like an improvement to you? RPG's on the PSOne era were leaps and bounds better than what we have today. The best way to move back towards that excellence is to revisit what made them great in the first place. Its not just to make the next poop game that pops to mind.

Nostalgia googles. Even for the time PS1 era FFs had shitty in game graphics, VIII had a bad gameplay, VII had a simplistic storyline with fake twist directly directed at tweens, IX had terrible load time for battles (That was horrible), endless grinding postgame, ...

Character design improved with time, OST are still as great as VI was, Monster design as improved, Gameplay is now really active (You don't have half an hour to think about what you will do next (For example in VII -> X I know beforehand how I will handle the next 30 minutes of random encounters) ).

Pre PS1 Era already had what made PS1 era great, except 3D and cutscenes to impress kids. Just saying.
