I would take issue with calling a real time RPG an advancement.
It's just a different style. Real time and Action RPGs aren't any better or more advanced then Turnbased games.
I really liked FF12's gameplay. I also like the traditional turnbased gameplay.
What I hated was FF12s story.
It's like Matsuno got halfway through making an Ogre Battle game named Final Fantasy, then when he left they just shoveled in all the Starwars refrences they could.
