i dont know if all the feedback S-E is getting about this matter is a good thing. LEts be honest guys, traditional turn-based RPG are outdated and ii think is kinda scary to see this amount of support for the "go back to your roots" arguments.

Well, maybe is just me

Why is it outdated? Some of the most popular RPGs are turn based (Pokemon, Dragon Quest for example), and even some of the most popular iOS/Android RPGs are turn based ones. They're very popular still and It's good that they are. They're very strategic in comparison to most mindless button mashing action RPGS.

It's outdated because you can't evolve it beyond what Square has done. FFXII and FFXIII were still turn based, but they had to turn the system upside down to innovate it. And just going with what is popular isn't a very good direction for a development team as you ignore what the creators may want to do.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
