Why?

Why do people think its cool or awesome to make FF based games? Its all great and dandy if its your first game or if theres a peice of the plot you want to "mimic" (note the quotes) but why must people make FF rip offs, inspired games and so on, the three that come to mind are FF7 .... 6 and 9. Some obvious plots are: crystals. Why?

What is so appealing about an FF game (I love them) that people must mimic them with no originality? oO

Also, on that note - why are games hand holding you? oh theres a crack in the wall, oh theres an arrow saying go here, oh theres 4 hours of tutorials before you get too play for 10 minutes then 6 more hours of classes followed by a final exam of save the world. By the way we just explained how to build an atom bomb - so make sure you took notes.

Enough already. Seriously.

Let me explore, let me make mistakes, let me figure things out. Sure some explanation is required. But let me go into the menus and poke around and let me walk down a path and face a monster only to find out i'm too low level.

So Heres my questions:

Why FF inspiration?
Why the constant hand holding? I makes games suck IMO. key words: IMO

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
