    What about a main villain who at the beginning is in the party? Yeah, he/she becomes a loner and leaves for some kind of grudge (maybe over a love unrequited? a matter of honour? A betrayal?) and kills off the previous bad guy Kefka style. Yet as the story goes on you realize he/she had precise reasons to do so, and you don't know what to do because you recognize that, but you still have to fight him/her to save the world...

    her own party kills her/his own baby monkey buddy, when they were all drunk.THen she trains in ape-jitsu and tries killing them.

    and C+C can they be baby mutant fire breathing monokeys who use bananas as swords shurikens and guns?

    and instead of horses can there be ice puppies and wolves and ostriches and tigers and giraffes to ride?

    Steal Baten Kaitos.

    Make the player a spirit, instead of playing the main character, you just follow and "suggest" what he should do (Which still amounts to controlling all the characters, but whatever).

    Instead of having a single main character who has friends and allies, have a small number of characters (Three to five) who are ALWAYS in the party (Unless people die) and who are ALL treated as of equal importance and stuff. And have them all friends from the start or something similar. I'm sick of games where the sidelined playable characters are so much cooler than the main character (Zell/Selphie v Squall, Cid/Nanaki v Cloud, Lulu/Wakka v Tidus/Yuna, and so forth.).

    Also, if people were to die, don't replace them with identical characters.

    And give players more choices. If they want to pay a hostage ransom, let them. And then let them hunt down everyone the hostage taker cares about. That sort of thing.

    What about if the player or one of the side-characters was the cause of the Bad Guy's rise to power?

    What if the hero or a side character was a drunk or a druggie? (you could even have "drunk" and "stoned" as status effects!)

    Oh and you absolutely positively must have a Dragon to slay.

    Here's a sprite-type image.

    Or!

    Consider!

    You are the bad guy. The thing starts with a typical 'everyone you know and love is brutally slaughtered in front of you' thing, but instead of vowing revenge and becoming a noble champion for justice, you become really mean and start hurting people for fun. And you have to take on the parties of good guys who come after you!

    Actually, it's...

    President Ronnie has been kidnapped by Ninjas!

    Are you a bad enough dude to rescue President Ronnie?

    Minor change, but an important one.

    Well I think the H*R thing has been done already, by my best mate actually...
    I'm liking the idea of the main villian being in the party to start off, or being the player themselves... I'll have a play around with that...

    "With no friends by his side... well just no friends at all, Buttz left home to travel the world in search of someone to appreciate him. After many, many rejections and a few rotten tomatoes in the face - he become angered, and devised a plan that would win him some friends... he would go in search of the Legendary Armor of Cheese! Buttz wandered and battled for many months, but in the end he discovered that the Armor had already been found... so he set off to steal it. It was on display in a museum on the continent of Nevagohther. Unfortunately for Buttz, in his desperation for the Armor he failed to notice he'd set off multiple alarms on his way in and out of the museum... in the middle of the day...
    Now, on the run from the law and without a clue as to where home is, Buttz will embark on the quest of his life... or maybe he'll get caught and killed... who knows...

    Coming Soon - The Great Cheese Heist, Part One: Buttz Steals The Legendary Cheese Armor And Gets Caught So Now He Has To Run Away Before He's Captured

    Or for short - The Great Cheese Heist: Cheesy Buttz


    OK... I'm gonna go back to my psychiatrist... I need help :P
