Lets just say the game devs are getting creative or just exploring possibilities. RPGs nowadays is way different from traditional RPGs mainly because people got bored playing the same stuff over and over again. For example, fighting games used to be 2D side-scrolling where one character beat the other to zero health to win. Now its 3D where the surroundings can be destroyed and you can call teammates to help so on and so forth. Its evolution and you need to get use to it. Cheers mate.
