Hey Mimic, I think Square are trying to push their boundaries really. A lot of those people who are not like us (i.e. ff obsessed) are getting very bored of the same old FF games; while I happen to love that style of game, Square have realised that to attract large target audiences again they have to break from their norms and perhaps take some risks.
