FFXII's gambit and Origin's tactics systems were so far ahead of their time. If the FF fanbase didn't have a meltdown to the level where almost everything XII represented was ejected from the main series, JRPGs probably wouldn't be in such a dire samey state where only the already established big franchises in that genre really get any attention now. And had the Dragon Age series actually retained their system, the combat in the later entries probably wouldn't be second-guessing themselves about what it even wants to be these days.
