ARANDOMGAMEMAKER'S PROFILE

All right so what should the overall plot be? I mean, besides killing the Wyrm Wizard. Like, what would drive this mystery cast to kill him in the first place?

Some ideas I had for starting it:

*First character is a pirate who is losing business because the Wyrm Wizard is killing the fish. So he grabs his boat and starts collecting people to fight him.
*First character is some cool knight person who rallies people to fight.
*First character is a generic teen/young adult character who is told by old guy to go kill the Wyrm Wizard.

The first one would allow access to a boat very early, so that's probably out.

For actual plot progression I can think of two that might work:
*The final boss is accessible after like the third dungeon, but you can do a ton of optional stuff beforehand. (Think Final Fantasy 6)
*The final boss is not accessible without first unlocking the way via crystals/orbs/keys/whatever. So the main characters would romp around the world collecting said things.

Characters could just be all over the place, like Chrono Cross. A few in a town, one in a dungeon, etc.

The starting cast should have a balance between what I call 'fast paced characters' and 'slow paced characters'.

Fast paced characters are characters that require minimum work to use right, like most fighting classes and mages.
Slow paced characters would be stuff like my character Anna,who is a Blue Mage like class. People that slowly build their strength via items or buffs. Things like that.

You know it.

I'll help in any way I can.

This game should have A LOT of optional content, methinks. Think the second half of Final Fantasy 6.

So I'm now at the sand level. Clanker's level was weird, but good I guess. The swamp was kind of boring.

I'm having way more fun then I did with Super Mario 64, though.

Fans LIKE it? I thought people pretended it didn't exist.
