The resulting fiasco nearly killed off Square Enix until YoshiP, who had played Ultima Online, WoW, and other western MMORPGs, came in and whipped things into shape.
Agreed. There needs to be a balance between creativity and exercising winning formulas. After all, they became winning formulas after extensive trail and error.
