As a general rule, turn-based rpgs are more cerebral. It's not just the action at hand when a command is executed. It's more so what are your options, what options do you choose, how does your action effect the actions of your teammates, what are the results of the over all actions of your teammates on the enemy. So from a superficial POV, turned-based rpgs might look stupid. That's because the person thinking it's stupid is stupid. Or impatient to say the least, not willing to understand the system before passing judgement. And turn-based gameplay isn't outdated by any mean. It just isn't as marketable to a sea of mind-numbing masses.
