You're playing an RPG, you can only pick four of these.

Which four do you take.

In order of importance (from most to least):

1, Combat
2, Stat/Build
3, World
4, Main story (if linear game with little side content)/Side content (if less linear game)

5, Characters
6, Branching path
7, Main story (if less linear game with dickton of side quests)/Side content (if linear game with focus on main quest)
8, OST
9, Replayability (although combat/build should naturally lend itself to good replayability)
10, large cast

Not even numbered: romance, pron

Characters
Combat
Story
Customization

Could easily make characters take 2 slots though.

>Fun Combat System
>Stat/Build Customization
>Branching Paths/Multple Endings
>Good Main Story

Why is Replayability its own thing when Branching Paths/Multple Endings already enforces this option by default?

I thought about splitting characters into good character designs and good character (personalities/arcs) or adding a point/cap system but just decided to make it simple. Maybe next time

Characters
Story
Fun combat system
World

That about makes me happy for a whole first playthrough

Good Main Story
Good Characters
Fun Combat System
Stat/Build Customization

By design you mean build, as in usefulness in a party based game, or something else?

Design meaning looking good, probably.

Solo or party-based?

Fun combat system.
Engaging world.
Satisfying side content.
Good main story.

Considering he said "fun" combat system, probably whichever fits your description of fun.

I draw so porn isn't even an issue.

1. Anime characters
2. Anime intro
3. Japanese audio
4. Soundtrack preorder bonus

trips confirmed anime is best

>Fun combat system
>Stat\Build customization
>Satisfying Side Content
>Memorable OST

I should choose Engaging World but I really like a good OST.

This needs some work.

customization, multiple endings, large playable cast... these all = replayability.

"Engaging world" is buzzword tier, be more specific. Do you mean believeable? cohesive? Do you mean there are a lot of interesting ways to interact with the world itself?

Why "memorable OST"? Bad OSTs can be memorable.

You need to work on your vocabulary, my nigga.

I choose four at random and then another random (but different) four for the next RPG I play because variety is the spice of life.

Fun combat
Build customizations
Engaging world
Satisfying side content

>Fun Combat System
>Good Characters

Without a good combat system you may as well be playing a VN which better have every single story/world/character point you put up there and enough porn to last a month.

half this shit is subjective and opinionated, fuck you

Fun combat system

The only ones besides these i'd really want are good characters and side content, but a) Romance and good main story implies some decent characterization and B) Can't have it all.

Branching Paths / Multiple Endings
Good Main Story

Good Characters

Branching Paths/Multiple endings

I can live without a great story if the characters are good enough

>Engaging world

My guess is that this is a code world for a setting that grabs you. It doesn't have to be believable, or cohesive, or anything like that, just a setting that grabs your interest and makes you want to play because of it.

For example to me pic related looks incredibly interesting, and if a video game used this setting I would most likely be willing to overlook a lot of things, like combat,that normally I would be very critical of otherwise.

If I cant pick at least 6 things then I don't want to play at all and might as well just masturbate.
