Random Musings About a JRPG that I'll Probably Never Make

I made a thread about this before that thread is very old now.

 

 

Disclaimer: Don't get your hopes up.  This may never happen.  I'll only do this if I can do it right and that will involve time, resources and experience.  (Meaning if I get to the point where I have the time and resources to make video games this won't even be the first on the list.)

 

 

So I'm gonna make this as condensed as possible so people can digest it easily but mainly because I am a lazy man.

 

 

 

Plot

 

So you live in some futuristic high-tech city that is either A) the central power in the world or B) some secret civilization hidden from the world or C) a bit of both.  The city is destroyed by some nonsense and you somehow survive and then through some contrivances you'll wind up forming a guild and going on magical adventures through fantasy land.  At some point you may or may not save the world or part of it from some bad guys.

 

 

Gameplay

 

Turn based.  Leaning towards a FFX queue system more than Pokemon-esque rounds.  Some kind of in-depth level up/class system. 

 

But that aside, the main mechanic/aspect of this game is a MOTHERFUCKING AIRSHIP.  That's my starting point for which all else in this game is built on.   The airship will be as awesome as possible.  I'm thinking managing your stuff from it like in Mass Effect but you'll be able to pimp it out like your house in Animal Crossing.

 

Ideally it'll be very open and you can go screw around in the world and do sidequests and stuff.  You'll also be able to talk to converse with your party a lot and get into their backstories and stuff like in western rpg's. 

 

 

Characters

 

Main Character - You'll be able to choose M/F, but probably not customize them past that.

 

The Douchebag Best Friend - (Mage) - Obnoxious comic relief guy who is also somewhat morally ambiguous.  

 

The Priest - A big guy who is kind of a pacifist.  

 

Knight -  As Lawful Good as possible.  She saves kittens from trees. 

 

Ninja - Slightly cold-blooded mercenary.  She has a mysterious past.  (Fuck me that sounds bad out loud.)

 

Engineer - Hot-headed.  Kind of a flake.  She ends up being the main airship pilot. 

 

Cat Man - A cat and also a man.  I couldn't think of anything else. 

 

 

 

TL;DR One Piece disguised as Final Fantasy the anime the game. 

 

So please tell me what you think of it and how bad I am at describing characters.
