Hello there, some time ago i made a thread asking the community about how to translate some of the mechanics of the souls games into turn based battles and i got very cool responses so now im curious about how a fire emblem inspired gameplay could work.
Basically it would go like this:

-Two digits for stats max, with 1 to 4 stat increases each level.

-Supports, using two compatible units in various battles can trigger special dialogue between as well as some gameplay benefits.

-Recruiting enemies, certain enemies could be "talked to" by the right characters and brought to your side if you meet certain conditions.

-Doubling the agi/speed of your opponent allows you to double attack, and vice versa.

-Skills need to be equipped and there is a limit on how many you can equip.

-Some skills could be activated at will while others would be passive or would trigger sometimes when attacking (like in golden sun)

-No grinding allowed (at least during the main story, post game content could be added for an extra challenge) so the player has to be careful about distributing exp between the units.

-Regular encounters should be really fast paced, ending at 1 to 3 turns max, you either wipe out the enemy or you get wiped yourself, so the main focus of the gameplay would be on battle preparation and resource management like in final fantasy 6.

-Encounters on the map, dungeons could work like regular maps from the fire emblem series, where enemy armies are deployed on the map, and they could react to the player actions, and retreat or bring in reinforcements, etc.

-Permadeath? i thought about skipping this one, since for most people it just means resetting the game each time someone dies.

-Limited money and loot, like experience the player should also manage this very carefully.

This are just from the top of my head, what do you guys think, could a system like this be translated to a non tactical turn based battle system?

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

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.
