Who thinks SquareEnix is taking the wrong direction?

I mean if you look at the new Final Fantasy their bringing out there doesn't seem to be any difference from Final Fantasy 10. Also they need to stop making the male characters girly. Almost every new Final Fantasy had a main male character who was blond and looked way too girlish for his own good. There also hasn't been that much innovation in the games anymore with the exception of Final Fantasy 11 going online. Final Fantasy 10's innovation was that it was the first Final Fantasy on a 128-bit system. They made Star Ocean way too techno. Too much useless chatter. I think that SquareEnix is losing its dominance as an RPG maker. What do you all think.

I do agree that the characters look rather feminine. (So does Link in a few screens from LoZ:TP)
And they really should stop the Crystal Chronicle type games. I really disliked that game. >_>

I really think that they need to come up with something innovative to draw new people to their side otherwise they might not survive through the new consoles. They've already lost me, although Final Fantasy 8 is still one of my top favorite RPGs (with Ocarina of Time always in First).

Crystal Chronicles has a lot of potential. I just want them to use more familiar weapon systems and get rid of the map/area systems. I think it would be pretty sweet, then.
