I've run into a bit of a puzzle with my game and was wondering anyone else has had the same problem or had some advice.
When working on your world map, what sort of scale should you use? Do you make one large map in with transfers to the individual villages and dungeons? This seems like it would give you that wide-open, epic feel, and would make ship/airship travel more realistic. On foot, however, it seems like a lot of wandering, and would be tricky to manage when making the map.
Or do you have a map, say, for each kingdom with transfers linking the kingdoms in addition to the villages and dungeons? This would break things up into easy-to-digest chunks, but it seems like you would loose that sense of scale. Plus, how would one utilize airships, etc in this sort of setup?
And while we're on it, how many villages and things should one populate their world with? I've played games where the sparsity of towns seemed unrealistic and made the world seem small and ill-planned. On the other hand, towns and things need to have a reason beyond verisimilitude, don't they? Some feature which makes you want to go there.

Tonbi's MZ material factory
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.
