People ridicule turn based RPGs because they generally aren't very popular anymore. A lot of people also don't realize that turn based RPGs are a product of the technical limitations of platforms rather than genuine design decisions.

The thing is theres plenty of people that prefer that "game design" wether game devs came by it freely or forced upon them.

** And this is one of those things that gets spammed alot

(people dont realise my arse, how many times have I seen this line resently?).

 

"turn based isnt liked by anyone, its old and a by producted of times where they where forced due to technical limitations bla bla bla".

Haters gonna hate :p

2. These creators want to do something new rather than retread.

Ironic. Since FF7 is a RETREAD, to being with.

Not really. They've been avoiding doing it forever. Now that they're actually doing it, they want to completely flesh it out. It's not just a graphical update.
