In a game....

[The Ceej]

Also, what do you think about games where there are many many characters you can get, but you can't get all of them, and some have preconditions?

You mean like in Chrono Cross?

My answer would have to be some I wouldn't expect anyone else to come up with before I announce it, and then have everyone go, "hey..."

I would like the story of an RPG to be told from the point of view of the villain. Something like a guy trying to take over the world. But he's not evil. He's just misunderstood. People don't understand that he's trying to take over the world for the good of the world. Kind of like if someone were planning a coup d'etat in the United States of America under the Bush administration. Such a thing would be admirable, but highly misunderstood and surely the person leading said coup would be considered a villain. So, you follow the villain in his attempt to take over/improve the world while the "good" armies and whatnot attempt to stop him. Actually, I've been thinking of writing said RPG for some time.

I'm surpised such an RPG has never been made. Correct me if it has.

It sounds much like FFTA, but you actually are trying to destroy the actual world because you want to return to reality, but yeah, pretty much. But I know I have seen your exact idea in a game, but I need to do a search for it.

Heh I want a good "Elemental" game...(Basic four elements of nature of course being fire, wind, water, earth) I dont know I just love that idea in RPGS but I want a good game based on the four...I hope to make an RPG someday based on this

I would also like a zombie fighting game (Hopfully wanna work on that too)

But more importantly (Besides basicly everything everyone said already especially the death and villian thing...very nice) I want an RPG thats not afraid to take risks like having a character be like "Oh hey everyone I'm gay"

Just simple stuff I suppose

Death that causes the party to split up. then someone has to become the secondary leader and reunite the party.

amnesia....ohwait they do that all the time.

Do they? I can't remember.

Mine would be levelling up. Especially if it's done in a way that you can actually see the benefits of levelling up. Like the cybernetic modules in System Shock 2 - if a console requires a level 5 hacking skill, I can't even try to break into it without a level 5 hacking skill. It gives me targets to aim for when I'm levelling up.
