Hey y'all,
Just a quick question I wanted to ask to everyone. Which do you find more important: A simpler battle system with tons of customization outside of it (e.g. FFV, Suikoden II) or a complex battle system but less customization/player choice (e.g. Tales, Radiant Historia)?
Obviously the ideal path would be to have both, like Xenoblade, Kingdom Hearts, or FFX, but for the sake of the question, let's assume you had to pick one.
In the context of my game, choosing to implement a complex battle system would force me to forego the nifty class-change system I had in place. Similarly, using a simple ATB battle system allows me a lot more freedom outside of battle. The flip side is that the complex battle system would make the game, characters, and their skills a lot more interesting. Just curious for your feedback! Feel free to mention your own game and how you went about these aspects!

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.
