I think they r doing it cuz those games you menchoned r becoming out of date and I don't mean tecnology wise. I mean that gamers have had enough of Finial Fantsy games and they want someting new. Look at Guildwars the first mmo that is free now that is something or the new elderscrolls game that has one of the best AI systems and graphics systoms ever. But that is just me i like new stuff.
