AN RM FIGHTING GAME...

CloseSo I was playing Dissidia recently and I got a crazy idea.
What if there were a fighting game...only the fights took place in the form of an RM battle (engine unclear...probably VX with a turn based system and a side view)? There would be 20 or so characters, and possibly a story to progress through. Maybe a Dissidia board game like style. There would also be an arcade mode pitting you against 5 enemies in a row. Your characters would level up and get stronger the more you played. It could also feature alternate costumes.
Anyways, just a bunch of ideas. To the point.
Assuming this idea doesn't get shot down immediately, does anybody want to team up with me to make this? I could make music, maybe (just maybe) write a story, or anything needed of me. Anybody who can do anything is welcome to do something. Again, this is all very vague, but perhaps we could refine ideas once we have a team put together.
What do you guys think?

I remember a fighting game made in rm2k it's Final Fantasy Fighters(?) I think. Seriously though, just use Fighter Maker or Mugen :S

No, I'm not looking for an action fighting game, but a turn based RPG style fighting game.
What is a turn based RPG style fighting game?
Do you mean like Tales of? :S
I'm surely certain that Dissidia is action but whatever :P
Oh I get it, Legend of Legaia

I don't see how this would be any different than a normal RPG, unless it was for two players opposing each other or something. I have no clue how a thing like that would work, either, but I bet RMXP or VX could pull it off somehow.
Were you thinking of making original characters for it, or using amateur gaming greats instead?

Mm, yeah, I'm also thinking that the fundamentals of an RPG and a Fighting game simply do not allow them to be the same game.
There are fighting games out there that let you level up like an RPG (DBGT Final Bout comes to mind). But unless you try to better explain what you're envisioning...I'm thinking it's one or the other

That reminds me of the time SovanJedi pmed me about a secret project, a smash brothers (?) styled fighting game starring a bunch of RM characters. I'm guessing the project is long long dead at this point. (as if you'd even have to ask)

It'd be like...an FF1 styled battle system where you could choose one of a number of characters and face off against another, controlled by a computer.
So, it'd be an RPG with one on one battles where you choose a single character from a group? Hmm...say, I think they already made something like that. It has about 500 playables, but they're a b!+ch to unlock.
;P
;P

and all the characters would be using swords (if all the characters where the protagonists of games)

Which is wouldn't be at all, if the designer had any sense. -.-

If it's turn based, it sounds like a typical RPG. Or maybe you mean turn based, except the attacks are button-entry like Sabin's Blitz system? Or like Legend of Legaia's action entry?

It would pretty much be a typical RPG focused around 1 on 1 battles and themed like a fighting game.

There's Dungeon Fighter Online, and any of the Tales of... series. It would go under Action RPG for having action and RPG elements.
I've actually been thinking about a game like this a fair bit Relyt. Alot of cameos have sprung up due to our IRC channel. And it got me thinking about making an rpg like this. If you are interested still. I would love to hear your ideas about it.

Yeah, don't ask. :P
(I PMed you about it? I don't remember that, hah. Were you one of the potential representatives penned for the game?)
