They should remake a FF game with western rpg mechanics (ie. dialogue trees) for the lulz.
FF8 wrpg dialogue tree

lolz! That was funny.
But really, JRPGs need to mature their storylines. They are waaaaay to cheesy. SE should just have two teams making FF series. One for the Japanese audience and one for America that borrows heavily from Bioware. See Final Fantasy Tactics. That game had a superb storyline and I consider it the best of any Final Fantasies!

I disagree that they need to borrow from any western developers but I do agree that some different themes would be a welcome change to the series.... change the setting, open things up a bit (not necessarily involving choice), and try a different direction. I don't have any problem with JRPGs staying with little in-game choice (maybe a little would be nice) but I'd LOVE to see them try something other than a bunch of freaky-haired teenagers going out to save the friggin' world. That schtick is so old that it's well past the point of being stale.
Basically, try to change things up a bit but not necessarily follow in the footsteps of western devs.
