There have been tons of ways too learn skills in RPGs throughout the time, but I was wondering what ways of learning skills you find most engaging and enjoyable.

Personally, I favor more open systems that allows you to put your own strategies together for battles. I guess Skill Trees is my best example of this. I also tend to enjoy Job Systems a lot too, again, because most of them are open enough for me to create my own strategies.

I really don't like systems like the one used in Final Fantasy 4, where you gain new skills by leveling up. A system like this can be open enough for me to have a lot of skills to use, but that usually happens late in the game. So yeah, I feel like systems which gives you skills in a "set" pattern takes away some of the analogue.

What do you think? What ways of learning skills do you enjoy or hate?

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.
