When creating an RPG the battle system is usually a big part of it. And a big part of the battle system are a varied set of fun enemies that you'll gradually encounter throughout the game. Now, how few UNIQUE enemies (not counting possible recolored sprites) do you think is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM(!) that you could "get away with"? ...According to you.

I'm aware that the length of the game is important to consider too so try to incorporate that into your answers. Example;
"You'd at least need X unique monsters in each new area/dungeon" or "In an average RPG, I think about X unique enemies per hour of game-play would be appropriate" etc.

Bonus question: What about games with on-screen enemy sprites walking around? Is your minimum number of unique enemies/monster the same or does your opinion change?

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.
