Games shouldn't take up controversial subjects just for the sake of doing it and they clearly shouldn't elevate themselves as a new form of art, if the only thing they do is telling us a story via cutscenes. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the topic, but...well.
You can do fun dungeons with fun puzzles and fun turn based battles (a system itself doesn't make fun battles) with rm2k/3, which is way more than almost every commercial JRPG has to offer. It is the perfectly fitting tool for a genre that is so not perfect until now.
SaGa Frontier 2, I bought it during the year of it’s release and sucked so very bad. Then, 2 weeks ago, I bought it again, but what should I say, I still suck at it =/.
