I haven't played Pokemon mystery dungeon, but I checked it out on Youtube. The battle system it uses looks pretty good. I defintely think we could use something similar. I may have to find a copy and check out the battle system further. :)
Yes, "research" might be something I need to partake in as well >.> I like the idea of having a turn-based system because, as has been mentioned, it allows for really cool graphics in battle.

I prefer turn-based too, it allows for more complex/interesting strategies and mechanics imo. Plus the above ^.^

Now turn-based has 2 votes more then arpg , so i think the possibilities and avaiable speed allows us to make a good turn based, but we already came across 4 turn-based things that all looked cool

So now we should decide which one to implement

We should just get the heads of story/coding to discuss and decide which would work best for the game.

Silly question - if the battle engine is turn based, will enemy be on left or right? (up/down/etc)

Actually, it doesn't have to be only left/right. There are many different ways turn based could be done.
*edit* More thoughts

Hmm... On the other hand, Something more Final Fantasy IV/Chrono Trigger like or Earthbound like Might allow for larger and more Epic looking sprites (especially bosses). Hmm...

lol xD

i kinda like this idea:


(skip to 4:00 )

EDIT: so you have a limited amount of energy, and you can do with the energy: use items, move player , attack

So the move can only go in specified direction for every player
attacks as well...

You're not just 1 player but you're 4 players on the field at the same time

I still think this is pretty awesome xD

I think that a regular Pokemon-like turn-based is the best

Reasons:

1) Easier to code
2) You can make BOSS sprites, as well as 8x8 overworld NPC's
3) It's a familiar engine... People can get used to new gameplay elements in the engine, while not being overwhelmed by the basic battle engine scheme

A tactical RPG? I think I'd like to avoid that for this game. Even more simplistic battles tend to take a while in tactical RPGs. I can personally attest to this having spent countless hours on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

I agree. FFTA like games can take FOREVER to grind. Also, tactical RPGs are more for Stage-like structure, not for overworld structure.

Indeed. Although, one very interesting structure for battle systems I saw was Radiant Historia. Your positions were fixed, but you could use certain moves to shift enemies around in a 3x3 grid. Enemies overlaid on each other both took damage from the same attack, so it was very smart to use. Imagine using 3 MP to start dealing double damage. Enemies moved back after you were done attacking. (The turn order was really funky. You could swap things around and stuff)
