Dragon Quest IX was originally announced as a button pressing "action RPG." When Japan heard this, boy did it freak out. How dare Square Enix do that! Bitching and moaning ensued, and fans wondered why the traditional turn-based system was being ditched. I mean, pushing buttons, that's hard. In the end, the company relented and the yet-unreleased game will revert to its traditional system. Says a Square Enix spokesperson:

People didn't want the change. When you've sold over 40 million copies, you've got to listen to your fans.
Don't blame Square Enix for the same old hat. Square Enix actually wants to change. Blame yourself.
