As I said before, I really like this game. I do agree that RPGs need innovation, but there's nothing wrong with games that stick to a game formula that's tried and true. Why not have games of both kind? It's a win-win situation in my opinion; those who can't stand turn based old-school RPGs play games like Valkyria Chronicles, the others play games like Dragon Quest, Lost Odyssey, etc. (though I personally don't care much for Dragon Quest). Besides, 1000 years of dreams is pretty innovative to me. I don't know any other game with such a feature.
