Exactly how does one update the JRPG format? It seems to be locked to me in a way to do things: Linear storyline, menus for selecting what to do during combat, and CGI cutscenes. Oh, maybe you mix it up a bit with real time action, changing how you order and organize your units, and making the game not based on the cliches of an angst ridden teen (or early 20 year old) or one with amnesia. Hasn't Square Enix done these things recently, even coming out with a 3D space shooter in the last Silpheed game? And all these people say SE has "lost the touch" and "bring back Final Fanasy!". The cry for Final Fantasy is a desire to stick to the same old formula actually, as I can see it. The cries for Vs 13 come from those in the Sony fan camp, because it isn't on the 360.

To be honest, I really don't know how they would update the JRPG formula and keep everyone happy. I am sure there would be a large percentage of people who would absolutely hate or boycot this idea. But for me personally that is the only thing that will save them from mediocrity. The last few JRPG games I have played haven't been bad, but they are getting more and more boring for ME. Switch things up a bit thats all I ask.
