Is RPG Maker just a cookie cutter?

I'd play a well-written, well-put-together, fun-to-play RPG Maker game over a boring game created from the ground up.

I'd also love to know of a single AAA company who's rebuilding their code and engine from scratch every time they make a game.
I heard that the original Final Fantasy XIV MMO, was made from the exact same engine as the Final Fantasy XIII series.

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.
