@LockZ you make a example of 3 scene in a movie against using a mechanic in a whole game? game mechanic define a game, you can put 3 shooting minigama in a game and it won't make the game a shooting game, but if you use shooting (I mean action oriented not shooting with ATB) as your main mechanic of dealing with enemies, you can't say its not a shooting game. Similarly If a movie is about both romance and action it become a action-romance.
I think RPG is about choices but I know a lot of game that don't even give the player a choice and most people call them RPG, they used all known RPG elements like exp - multiple character - weapons/magic. but story is linear, skills are fixed, you can only use the best equipments, how can someone call such a game a RPG (even a shooter game let you chose btw multiple weapon type). In the end it's the player that define what kind of game he is playing also developer says the otherwise.

anyway, as I said before there is no problem in using other game core system (as far as GF/draw concept) if it's appropriate. using them just because it was in another popular game (even for a nostalgic part of it) is very wrong even if you name it ff8-2, because you are missing the point ff8 (or any other ff) wasn't about their system it was about innovation and how to apply that innovation.

note that Innovation is not only about finding a new answer, it can be about how to use the old answers in a better ways.

huh? I don't get the genre thing, there was a time that RPG was about killing things and customizing your character/ Shooter was about shooting things and finding new weapons/ adventure was about doing random things to make a another random thing happen.

now everything is mixed, there is no definite genre anymore, Shooter use rpg and adventure features, RPG (so called) use items to increase the player power
genre is not a definite thing and can be changed anytime, I can say there is no genre at all. every game use every feature they like then brand it rpg-shooter-strategy-simulation-adventure-crap genre

TDS is right,
but what cause this? people don't want to give too much attention to a RPG maker game (is it because most of them are free?) why everyone learned ff1-infinity systems but don't like to learn a thing from rpg maker game?
there is 2 reason:
1- there is always a faqs/ guide for popular game, some people are too lazy to understand a system.
2- popular game polish their system through visuals.
