I think that it would have been interesting to see Crisis Core with a traditional battle system and Final Fantasy VII with an action-oriented battle system even for just a little while. I think that a mix of traditional and untraditional battle systems work fairly well for gameplay, but games that do that tend to perform below average on the story. Final Fantasy X-2 had very good gameplay, but I think that it failed to resonate with gamers because of its campy story.
