That style is becoming the auto-tune of 2D RPGs. I’m already over it. Sadly it will be a thing for the next 20 years. Thanks, Cher.

Its trademarked by one company, no other company has made games in this form.

If its easy to make games in this design/engine, I'd say go for it - better than waiting years and years for one game.
