Default Re: RPG Ideas

Oh god, it would take me a long time to list all my ideas.

What I'd like to see is less of the cliche. The "teenager who falls in love and saves the world from evil" is so annoying, it makes me wanna puke. Let's face it, RPGs arent exactly the most fun games to play in terms of gameplay, so without a good story, why the hell should I sit through 40+ hours taking turns fighting in battles and raising my character's levels? I'd like to see more RPGs like Dark Cloud 2, that are built upon having fun gameplay. A lot of RPGs are too static, and the gameplay is way too cliched. I fail to see how a person who starts off battling bunnies and little slimes thingies can eventually gain enough strength to save the world from unspeakable evil. Like come on, some orphan kid who lives in some piss poor village eventually gains enough strength to fight unstoppable beings?

RPGs are just so unrealistic. Am I being made to believe that I can walk across the entire world in a few minutes, and if I gain enough levels I can eventually become super powered? What I basically want to see in future RPGs are something new and fresh. Something that makes sense. Enough of this raising levels crap, maybe the Japanese haven't figured this out yet, but people do not "level up". Unlimited Saga tried to do something new, and failed miserably. Hopefully someone can get it right.
