The games that never were.

Imagine smash bros meets ff.  An old school rpg where all your favorites are characters in a standard turn based rpg....almost wants to make me abandon my current project to make this game.  link, kirby, mario, dk, captain falcon, samus, if someone isn't working on a project like this they need to be.  or maybe a captain n rpg....hmm

Lego Battles DS

Recent conversations with Lucas and Uber have led me to believe that a Pokemon styled Spore type game would be pretty cool.

I would like to see the RIGHT pokemon game. It would be a TBS like Mystery Dungeon but your trainer would have a character you could use, a HUMAN one. You would get to choose who you would like to ally with (the Teams, the professors research squad, the Rangers, just be a loner, etc) and the battle mechanics akin to the TV show, with actual digging, swimming, combo moves, CAPTURING KO'ED POKEMON, etc.

If anyone would be interested in doing this in Game Maker i can certainly lead the team.

Ok my smash bros meets ff is a flop but somehow paper mario meets half life 2 is win....i give up *facepalmslide*

I always enjoyed the adventure mode on smash bros.  It was kinda weak but I thought it had potential.  Made me want to play a fully developed sidescrolling adventure in that style with link or maybe some other people.  Just thought it had the potential to be developed into something cool.

Woah, hold the phone, you got something against ff?  They pretty much invented the genre.

Oh God, here we go.

Well a game I've always wanted is a sword fighting war game with the mechanics of Star Wars Battlefront.   You know where you're like a soldier with a sword and there's a bunch of people fighting along with you.   Wish I could make that with RPG Maker.

Off the top of my head I think of Onimusha and that recent Viking game on 360..rune?  Not to mention some rts game I saw on ps2 once that looked very cool and just like that.

Awww man awesome I gotta track those down!

I understand it's a highly opinionated statement.  That's why I said, "pretty much."  I believe Dragon Warrior came first (but never was a fan of that, franchise didn't really last anyway)  Unless you can count old commodore text based rpg's or something of the like, my statement holds more or less true.  Personally, I abhor the direction ff has gone and consider it dead, for the most part, but to think that anyone who likes rpg's doesn't like or, at least, respect ff is crazy (to me).
