To be fair some of my favorite games use this kind of cliffing seen on Delteria, like Earthbound. But in the case of those games the tileset was custom made to look that way, and in Delteria's case it's just a reskin of ALTTP with weird looking cliffs. It's not aesthetically bad, but it limits one's ability as a level designer which is never a good thing to do.

I've used that style of cliff in the past and I wouldn't say it limits you as a LAT. I would stay it actually opens up a few more avenues that aren't available if you're working from a pics1.png tileset. Like water/grass/dirt transitioning on a beach. Maybe if you're using a tileset with transparency there would be no need for this sort of style.
