My question is, what happened to the RPG?

I never thought I'd see this happen to FF, but Square has finally sold out to the ADD crowd. No towns, no exploring, freakin retry option(?!?!) equals all kinds of fail. Some of the best parts of the FF series was searching all over the map for special unlocks like new summons and weapon, and even new recruits.

While I liked Mass Effect as a game, there are similar design choices in ME2 as there are in FFXIII that completely neuter them as RPGs, and I fear this is the wave of the furture for my beloved genre.
