I'm shopping around for ideas for battle systems, because I'm tired of constant resource management. What do you feel is the general consensus on games that don't use a limited resource like MP for strong attacks? Do you feel it's too easy to just spam powerful attacks and win? Or in order for it to be balanced, do these stronger attacks have to be closer in strength to the normal attack?
I'm personally fond of the Bravely Default system. It uses conditions to determine whether you can do an attack (i.e. you must use an item 10 times before you can do a dagger special attack), which is a refreshing break from constantly juggling MP. Of course, MP also exists in Bravely Default, but so far I've never run out, because I use it almost solely for buffs and healing. It's a secondary resource, in other words, instead of the whole basis for strong attacks.
What are some other good examples of this convention?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
