PEACEFUL_CHAOS'S PROFILE

There are. I've played a few RPG Maker games and in the first few minutes I see an F-bomb or two..so I stop playing. :p

Now if we're talking console RPGs, not really. Unless it's a modern western RPG.

Yes, my favorite thing in RPGs is grinding. Shocking. :P Story always takes a backseat for me. I enjoy a good story, but if I don't enjoy the battle system, I'm out. When I used to play Final Fantasy VII often, I'd have Blade Beam before even leaving the first reactor.

It's why I like games like Diablo II, Baldur's Gate etc. All there is to do is level up and get gear. <3

That could be useful, but there needs to be a better way to know when to use it. Often we don't need to bother defending against normal attacks, but usually there's no warning for special attacks. Games seem to have done away with casting times.

Everything is instant now so actually getting a defend in before a fatal attack is all luck now. Games like Final Fantasy IV, where spells and such took time to cast instead of click-boom, would actually work, or bosses would often show signs of what they're about to do.

Defense (the action not the stat). So many games has defense being ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. Think about it, when you play RPGs, you smack on the enemy as hard as possible until you get hit, in which you would cast a healing spell or pop a potion. For my games, I make defense actually OP. Is it a bad idea? Maybe, but its better than it being bum-fucking-worthless.

I agree, actually. So many times I'll get some new armor, increase my defense by about 150 points, and the damage I take goes down by 1-10 points. When enemies are dealing thousands, what's the point? Oh, okay. Instead of 3,000 I now take 2,990.

I hath subbed to thine game.
