There is a reason why no game has come up with something great to replace the "trinity" or having open ended charaters (aka: no class) turn into a few combos of abilitys that work. That reason is its just not easy to create a system that is brand new, or a open system that is perfectly balanced. The day that game comes out, everyone else will be copying it.

This game in its situation can't afford (literary) to try something totally new, so what we get is what we get. But either way, there is no game out there thats SO different and unique yet, we have to deal with the tropes.
