Your post reeks of:

Then you are not understanding me, or just stopped reading there. Pokemon as a game in itself is fun, adding battling pets in wow, through its fun, it's just a gimmick that adds nothing to the core of the game.

I'm the first to go out and try all the mini games and whatnot of a given game, hell, I spend a lot of hours in golden saucer in FFVII or just playing cards in FFVIII and IX, but that's just an extra, you don't go play those games to go tot he golden saucer or play cards, not the first time you play them through.

Gimmicks can add fun to a game, but they should not be a selling point, because that will indicate that the core mechanics of the game are bland and/or uninteresting, specially on a mmorpg.

Precisely what I want is a FF mmo that is FUN, with new mechanics and systems that are not the same that I'm used to play in other games, that's what I liked about Tanaka's concepts, and I damn every day the terrible execution they delivered of them.
