Square ran into the same thing. They kept streamlining annoyances players complained about over several decades. The result? FFXIII: a game where you ran down a hallway and watched waifu cutscenes. Because when you cut away the time wasters and the poor gameplay, that's what's left.
This happens to any designer or series given enough time to make rpgs.
