Both those ideas you guys said were already going to be implemented. It's going to be a multi-player or single player mode with cooperative play. You'll have paths, so basically it's like one of those stories where you pick a path, though subtly and things change the story. So there can be multiple endings. Combo attacks are always fun. Also, implemented NPC's throughout the game and depending on how you interacted with them at the beginning they will basically either help or hinder you throughout the game. We also have combination magic and a new system for magic we came up with, at least we think we came up with. I don't know if any other game already came up with that idea or not.
The actual gameplay will be real-time battle where you can see your enemies beforehand and you can choose to fight or just avoid them. It's still like any other RPG with exp and what not. We also have a new form of magic that allows you to combine certain elements. Basically say you have water, fire, wind, or whatever. We're thinking 6 elements with 5 blocks. Though the amount you can enter will vary as you gain experience. You have blocks to fill up with certain elements as you are fighting and the way you combine these elements will allow you to create your own spells. You do not know what any of the combinations except for the ones already set, but you will be able to create your own spells and name them yourself.
There will be rules for the elements that we program into the computer and based on those rules the program will combine the elements and create a spell based on the components you used. It will then be logged in a spell book that you can access. The book will then hold the spell's name and what the order you placed the elements, as well as how many of each element produced that certain spell. So say if you put water, fire, wind to create a spell, if you put the order wind, fire, water it wouldn't give you the same spell. Main spells will be logged into the book automatically, but the magic system will allow you to tweak those spells, say if it takes 3 fires to do a level 3 fireball, if you added a wind element with something else the engine would create some effect which would be created by the laws programmed for each element. You would then name that spell yourself as it was your own creation and figure out whether you like it or not. I don't know if people would rather just have the spell available as you gain exp like any other game or if the whole concept of creating them is cooler, so tell me what you guys think.
So the magic system will be kind of like Saban's blitzes in FF6. You press certain buttons when you pull up the magic option to fire off a spell, and you can access your spellbook just like any other game to see what combinations do what. Eventually you'll just remember the spell you like most and will most likely keep using it, but with this system the number of spells that can generate is huge, so it's still being decided.
Since this isn't a huge gaming company producing it, the game most likely won't be available for a console if we create it. Most likely it'll be for the PC in the beginning. It'd be great to get some big names like Nintendo or Sony to have us create the game, but that's just wishful thinking.
