I would actually be okay with that if it was done right. I love the Tales series. It is by far my favorite video game series out there with only 2 thus far I don't really like (Legendia and Graces). However, I'm not sure how well FF would do with this format. Tales has been experimenting and testing modifications to their combat system for years. Fine tuning and tweaking here and there and I do honestly believe the combat in Xillia is the best the franchise has ever had. Part of the problem is, I don't like the idea of FF straight ripping off Tales instead of doing it's own thing, and I have this other fear they will just copy-paste something like Kingdom Hearts (which, while fun, has never had my favorite combat system). If they tried it, they'd have to be careful about how they approach it. Though, regardless of what they try, I also have this dread that die-hard old school fans will flog them with hatred for being different from what they used to be.
