Wanting feedback on a game system where trash mobs are killed with an active battle system (Phoenix Kage Desu’s ABs system),
And boss fights will be using a traditional JRPG style turn based battle with a battler picture of the boss.

My idea was that I plan to have a large party 5+ people. Fighting trash mobs such as the goblins occupying a castle would be tedious if I had to just keep selecting attack from a menu and just one-shotting all the mobs.

Withand ABS system, beating down the trash mobs would be fun. I want a dynasty warriors style feeling where you get a visceral enjoyment just hacking and slaughtering everything.

the ABS system will be simple since I am not that good at programming and will use existing features as much as possible. I was thinking the lead hero would be the only one controlled. The lead hero would just be hacking everything with a sword. The other party members would be auto shooting things in range with arrows or spells, and doing auto heal.

The boss battles would be using a traditional battler system for the boss, where you select attacks from a menu. A boss battle for my ABS system would be too simplistic since there won’t be too many options, that’s why I prefer the traditional battle system for bosses. The boss battles would be drawn out affairs where you have to understand weaknesses and using the right skills and spells to win. The enjoyment is figuring out this puzzle.

Let me know if having two different battle systems is too complicated or weird.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
