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.

Seems the technical limitations have still not been overcome. We can still only really control 1 character at a time instead of managing a whole party of heroes. Also, for a technical limitation Tales Of has been doing it since the SNES.

That isn't a technical limitation. It's more of a controller/human limitation as you can't control multiple characters well in an action combat system. If there's a single game that doesn't pause while controlling all characters, I'd be very interested in trying it.

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