FELDSCHLACHT IV'S PROFILE

Is it possible to edit the battle system with DynRPG? Namely, fix some of the bugs?

Yeah, that definitely puts it in perspective.

If you can't convey 'hey, this city is big', without actually making the area really huge and painful to walk through, then that's a limitation on your ability to create. Vector from FFVI gave the impression of a big city even though it's actual walking space was really small.

Is there a list or something? I'm having some trouble finding all of the projects made with this.

On land:

Max Payne 3
Skyrim
Deus Ex 3
Tales of Vesperia
Valkyria Chronicles

Out to sea:

Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together
Final Fantasy VII
Breath of Fire IV
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Bosses should be designed to be able to be beaten without most optional equipment that makes life easier. Yes, fireproof armor makes fighting the dragon easier, but not having it still allows the player to win, but different strategies must be used (ex. the lack of flame protection means that more turns must be spent healing than attacking, so on). That reduces the 'roadblock' effect of not knowing what you have to equip beforehand. Although it is definitely possible to warn the player beforehand or give hints. Some games let you change equipment on the fly.

And if you die, you die. If people can't handle the concept of losing in a game I mean what else do you want the game to do suck your dick?

My opinion is that the old paradigm of "Gear resistance" is too tiring, and overused. Why would you have to reload a game?

What if, for instance, your party/character is not exactly the killing machine or the huge pool of hitpoints tank, or the swift healer, but a balanced combination? Not someone who can dish massive amounts of damage while outhealing any damage done to him, but someone who can defend and attack, finding some sort of middle ground. There wouldn't be any need to reload/warn the player before hand.

Now, those concepts are actually difficult to convey/put down in a game

They're difficult to put down in a game because they're awkward/boring/too simple. Those same tired concepts are done because generally they work. Not to say that innovation can't be tried, but with all innovation, its a dangerous game that might work or not work. Something isn't better just because it's new. Keep that in mind.
