1Creator/TetsuyaNomura's ExactWords about how "the next ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' game won't be in the series' current [=[=][[FightingGame fighting game]][=]=] form" resulted in a GenreShift that nobody could have seen coming: from fighting game, to RhythmGame. Despite the AudienceAlienatingPremise, what at first looked like a QuirkyWork-like weird mix turned out to avert the highly feared NoExportForYou (breaking a common tradition for Creator/SquareEnix, with a widget no less) status for the game.
