Things you want and don't want in your RPGs

[maybee]

name five things you want in an RPG, and five things your don't want

Don't Want :

• Action RPG. It just feels so empty and dull only playing as the MC and if you don't like said MC, whelp, you are screwed basically as you are stuck controlling them for the whole game. Also not a fan of the hack and slash gameplay. I think Crisis Core's system put me off Action RPGs forever. Ugh. Kingdom Hearts as well with it's bad CPU when it comes to Donald and Goofy.
• Anime Styled Characters and Themes. I don't mind Anime or Manga in small amounts, though usually it makes the characters look cheesy and difficult to take on a serious level. Xenoblade 2 is coming to mind here. It's just cringe. Fine in small amounts though. Just don't over spill it.
• Open World/ Hallway. Works in Zelda, didn't really work in FF XV. Though on the opposite side, XIII's road is no good either. I- IX had it about good.
• Story- Forced DLC. DLC is okay if it's cheap, fun and optional. Though if it's basically almost forced to understand the characters and story more like how they're doing with FF XV. No. Put the whole story in the whole game.

Want :

• More older characters ! Give me a old gruff man, give me a experienced solider type, give me a friendly grandpa character. Give me more characters like Galuf from Final Fantasy V. Don't shy away from 21 + year old characters !
• More Male Healers. A little bit tired of the whole healer = female cliche. A man can be a doctor/ nurse too ! Hey, just look at Minwu !
• Turn- Based. Bring it back. If Persona 5 can do it. So can you.
• More Female characters.
• Plenty Of Side-Quests. Something like FF VII's Gold Saucer comes to mind, just a place where you can just chill out from the main game for a while and take a break.
