I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt now that Square knows that older formulas can still work they can go back and rely on traditions that they mastered decades ago and hopefully that stuff will float to the top

But I definitely will not be holding my breath. It really wouldn't surprise me if they had some bogus idea to bring Bravely Default to a "wider audience". Something publishers always use as an excuse to muck up fantastic franchises. Square's hands aren't clean yet. Not from just one fantastic game which was just as easily a fluke, rather than by design. So we'll see
