Return to roots and whimsy would be one of the most anticipated games of my lifetime. It's been 23 damn years since IX.

I wouldn't even mind more linear action games like XVI from CBU3 if they aren't a complete replacement to RPGs. It's acceptable if a different team keeps up the traditional RPGs alongside them in an alternating pattern.
