Your argument... a claim it is not about dialing back the clock for a thematic era but to over it being rendered of the 16/8-bit era graphics. Would that not be a complaint you would use against any RPG development engine? Are not the graphics and default game system within any of RPGMaker line heralding back to the SNES/SuperFamicom collective?
Currently, there are a lot of people that have re-discovered the games of the past and thoroughly enjoy playing so-defined Retro Games. Likewise, the desire to make games with engines such as RPGMaker fills the need for those wishing to embrace that era. And likewise, this pack and finalbossblues's other Time Fantasy packs he/she made fills that need. The style embraces the CronoTrigger or Secret of Mana style.
From his Time Fantasy Fairy Forest DLC
I would not say it is lazy to create a tileset with the SNES Crono style. It is definitely not lazy to create dozens of TimeFantasy tileset DLCs, more artwork that what comes with the actual RTP itself. That, and he/she has a separate full DLC pack for those wanting to create a game evoking SNES's Earthbound (or Mother 2 for the Japanese version).
I definitely appreciate that the character sprite graphics he supplies are the more upright standing versions from CronoTrigger through to RPGMaker XP and not the Chibi-esque variety from VX on up. That made me barf.
Do note that I did state that the house interior was something I wasn't keen on. However, other parts were something I would use within, such as the riveted floor panels or accents such as the pipes, fans and so on. So I was being fairly accurate in my critique for the individual graphics as represented.
