Anti-Heros. And I'm not talking 'lone wolf emo warror' types, I'm talking insane 'rape the innocent' badasses. Why the hell do we always have to have ‘fundamentally good’ protagonists. Why can’t we play as ‘The lesser of two evils’? You’ve got to admit; evil is always more fun. And who when playing RPGs wished that they could just kill that overcharging bitch of a shopkeeper and take her goods?
That, and non-linear game play.
b00bs.
WICKED-AWESOME SIG.
In both Disgaea and Makai Kingdom you play as the king of the Netherworld. Laharl goes all wussy towards the end (Stupid Flonne), not sure about Makai Kingdom though.Originally Posted by The Devourer Of Worlds

>>> yeah, but lone wolf emo warrors sell better..
The best evil anti-hero ever is GoGo Ackman, but that wasnt an rpg game..

A lot of this stuff has been done in Western RPGs. I don't think it'd be wise to expect Eastern games to adopt a Western premise. It needs to be revolutionized, not assimilated. So I think I have to ask straight up, are we talking western style, or are we trying to re-work eastern style? 'Cause there's a lot of great ideas here, but I really wouldn't want to see a lot of them in an Eastern-origin RPG
Well, trying to rework the western RPG, seeing as though I am from Australia. Basically, I am a westerner with the mind frame of an easterner. I hate all the western RPGs, most them turn out to be boring for me, so yeah.
RPGs need more cats.Whether they be main characters who fight, or NPCs, (Like the kitty village in Suikoden IV!) we need more kitties.
Kitties.
1. A pure silent protagonist like in the suikoden and Dragon Quest games.
2. A girl/girl love scene
3. Battle music made up of mostly electic guitars and drums, like in the Guilty Gear Soundtrack.
They seem to already be on the right path IMO.....
Look at Suikoden V and you'll see what I want.
A lot less bitchys I mean bishies.
Fewer minigames. More Amano.
Does it have a kitty village too?! That's probably the only reason I played Suikoden IV, for the kitty village. Kitties...Look at Suikoden V and you'll see what I want.
NO!
NO!
NO!
BAD JOEL!
(You are Joel, right? I'm not sure.)
Silent protagonists are terrible! The only game to ever do it with the remotest of good was Half-Life 2, and that was only because the gameplay itself is so awesome.
I agree. I like to get to know the person I'm playing. I'm glad they did away with silent protagonists
