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 LEts be honest guys, traditional turn-based RPG are outdated and ii think is kinda scary to see this amount of support for the "go back to your roots" arguments.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Why is it outdated?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.

first of all, most popular RPGs are action based (skyrim, fallout, ME, etc)...

To be unable to update to today's standars is the principal cause for the decline of the JRPG as a genre in the 7th generation. Besides this game mechanic actually exist due hardware limitations (there are some exception out there but still..)

Nah.  Unrealistic investor driven unsustainable growth at all costs business models which favor zero investment fast turn around copy paste FPS games and widest possible dumbed down market appeal did away with the JRPG.  Can't afford limos making quality games that take 4 years to make and sell under a million units when you have a staff of 10 developers and 5000 administrators, bureaucrats , investors, and others with business degrees instead of programming degrees.
