RPG Maker Forums

One thing I've noticed about a lot of rpg maker games and indie games in general is that games will have these amazing custom graphics and animations but, still use the same old stock sound effects or use common stock library music (note, there is absolutely nothing wrong with stock assets, it just seems to be a trend where games will use custom everything EXCEPT audio). I would think that especially in a genre such as the JRPG where music is commonly the absolute most memorable thing about the games, that people would pay just as much attention to the way their games sound as they look, but that just does not seem to be the case. Why don't people put more stock (pun fully intended) into custom audio and music?

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!
