In an recent interview Yuji Horii who worked on Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest stated on various facts. When asked whether there are differences between U.S. and Japan players in the preferred types of genres he mentioned, "II sometimes wonder why the U.S. reviewers are more negative towards turn-based battle system. Real-time play has fun aspects too, but for this type of game there is more strategy that comes with a turn-based system. Also, you can play with other people in this game and decide what actions to take together.
