Well I think this underscores the value of intellectual property and trademark, doesn't it? It's not difficult to copy the beloved game mechanics in a role playing game...but what interests gamers is more than just the game, but the emotional attachment they have to characters and storylines.

(no, I'm not justifying these takedowns and I would love a Chrono Trigger remake...just pointing out how much writing/branding contributes to the value of any story-based medium, including video games)
