So far Im against everything said in this thread. Not a game has been a genre change, just an advancement in tech. 2d to 3d, should not count. Linear to open world either. also changing camera positions, first or third person view is not a genre. And for the one who said turn base rpgs going action rpgs, this is the only one i think is closest. Still rpg is the base game.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
