RPG Maker Forums

So an idea I came up with was to have a game where there were 4 or 5 elements, but enemies and allies could only be damaged by elements they were weak to.
For example say we use Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. Fire is weak to water, so all Wind Earth and Fire attacks will deal 0 damage to a fire elemental creature. Only Water element attacks are even capable of damaging them.
It could offer some interesting gameplay decisions as it forces the player to bring with them all 4 elements at all times, but it could also make certain character's useless if no enemies are weak to the elements they have access to.

I still think the idea could work though, maybe all skills deal damage and have an effect. For example poison deals water damage which can only harm fire enemies, but it also poisons the target which can effect all enemies.

Any thoughts?

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.
