I think the HeroQuest comparison is not completely accurate, but I think it's a fair one to be made. It's like comparing the original Final Fantasy to...well, whatever modern console RPG you want to compare it to. At some level, no matter how it may be argued, they're the same game. The modern game just has the benefit of time, new ideas and evolution on its side.
Personal opinion...
In relation to the original FF, and even more so in relation to FF IV - VI...
I'm not so certain modern FF games (FFXIII and FFXIV) has actually benefited from time, new ideas or evolution. In fact, my PERSONAL opinion is that it's actually detracted from the FF series.
