Hey /v/, I've got a challenge for you
Create the exposition for a JRPG that doesn't involve
>Your hometown getting attacked
>A family member being kidnapped
>You finding a mystical weapon
>You raiding a city
>you are raped in an alley and left to die
You are the chosen one and none of those things happen on your journey
>>340222295
One day you go to work as a blacksmith and then you work as a blacksmith
Speaking of work does anyone have a job in Melbourne, Australia that they could get me into
>>340222295
YOU'LL
NEVER
GUESS
WHAT
HAPPENED
>>340222295
You rape someone in an alley and leave them to die.

>>340222295
You're the old guy trying to find the chosen one. The chosen one gets his ass kicked and the old guy has to step up again.
Your friend's hometown gets attacked
>>340222295
What about just a simple story about a guy who wants to explore, likes finding treasure, and wants power?
>>340222295
You went on a late night food run after a lot of drinks, and inevitably became wrapped up in a plot that could tear down the very fabric of society.
No one expects you to succeed in life. Prove them wrong. Or right. The resident Deity doesn't really give a fuck.
You find out that someone in your family is a murderer but they all mysteriously disappear one day, and it's up to you to find them all and bring them back home
Plot twist:You killed them years ago and the bad guy is trying to hunt you down for your crimes
>>340222295
You wake up one morning with the mood to go fuck shit up
>>340222295
Your hometown is kidnapped.
You're a NEET that doesnt want to do fuckall and your mom forces you to get a job.
>>340222295
Your hometown gets attacked by a giant flying beast that steals your sister and drops a mystical weapon that forces you to raid a city when you pick it up.
>>340222295
A local bully was nice to you and invited you to a party but then the party gets raided by the king's knights and you get involuntarily involved in a country wide relic smuggling ring that fucked up the wrong villian.
>>340222295
A dungeon was opened in town. Shit is dangerous. Clear the dungeon and be a hero. Money bitches and power await the foolish and the dead.
>>340222513
How many suits of armor have you made? I can't take on just any apprentice.
>>340222295
your mystical weapon raids your hometown and kidnaps your family
You're a totally average soldier who is training and is one of many to be sent out within the month for battle. Hellfire rains from above killing almost all everyone. You don't know what the fuck happened but some kids with belts all over them came by and check out the situation momentarily, but didn't really bother to help you.
You set out to see what the fuck is going on, and coincidentally are time and again either right behind or right in front of the real protagonist's JRPG party.
E.G. You help a town with a bandit problem, and in return they help open a cave route for you to get to your next destination (which ends up being just another cave the protagonist goes through without a second thought). Or you walk through forests with dozens of slaughtered ninjas and wolves, killed by the protag's party in their random encounters and left to rot.
One day, the castle of anonburg was enjoying life casually.
WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALIENS ATTACK.
At the mercy of the alien's superior technology, the fantasy kingdom turned to the mystic relic said to have been left behind by their God; The Sacred Blue.
The sacred blue granted the kingdom magic, and with their newfound power they ripped through the alien's defenses, and sent them packing
Now 100 years have passed since that fateful battle. The kingdom has grown with alien tech and magic, and everything seems to be peaceful...
>>340222295
You raid someones hometown and kidnap people with your magical weapon.
>>340222295
I don't think you had to do any of that shit in the original Dragon Quest.

You get kicked out of your village for liking half elves.
>>340223053
your only power is luck, and even that's debatable.
>>340223092
Not a JRPG
You wake up one morning to find that your hair is on fire, seemingly without explanation, and the fire never goes out.
You must search for powerful magic users and alchemists to devise a cure for your ailment.
You are part of a raiding army party that burns down a town and are considered a hero for doing it.

>A Family member kidnaps you
>You find a gun and everyone is using swords

Your home country gets attacked and one of your business associates is kidnapped. You find a technological marvel of a weapon and decide to raid their country to kill the mastermind behind the attack
The United Nations assemble a team of the world's finest soldiers and scientists to investigate an expanding dimensional field in the south pole.
shit gets ugly fast
You're a guy who just love adventures. No more no less.
>>340222295
You live in a pseudo-fantasy world on the cusp of an industrial revolution. Through advents in communication magic and technology the world is more connected than ever, and the heroes of old have been replaced by "guilds" of adventurers who function like a cross between movie stars and professional athletes, who make spectacles and shows of their heroic exploits.
You are a country bumpkin who grew up admiring these guilds and wishing to join one, but lacking the clout to join any of them, as most have become very elitist affairs that won't take anyone who doesn't have money or some influential connections.
But when you save the life of a traveling elf merchant passing through your town from bandits, the somewhat shifty man offers you a deal: he is starting his own guild, and wants you to lead the adventurers he intends to recruit.
You then are whisked away from your humble life on the adventure of a lifetime, recruiting dozens of various JRPG character archetypes with a tweest to recruit and take on your adventures, trying to save the day in the most exciting way possible and getting the public to adore you for it. This would be reflected in the game's mechanics where you seek not just to defeat enemies but to do it in flashy ways, such as pulling off combos with party members, using exhilarating finishing moves or using environmental hazards to creatively wipe out your enemies. As you grow in renown you gain access to more dangerous dungeons, more important and influential questgivers, and of course better loot and gifts from your adoring public. But the established guilds don't take kindly to upstarts, and you'll have to compete head-to-head with the world's best if you intend to survive in the field for long.
Your mom sends you to the next town over to get some milk, but they don't have any.
You keep going from town to town to find someone who sells milk, then after you've traveled halfway across the earth and acquired a level 70 team of paladins, mages, knights, etc., you finally find a milk vendor.
You hop on your airship and bring it back home, butthe milk spoils.

>SCAN AND OBTAIN YOUR FORMA
>>340222295
The game starts with you living army life in a medieval-esque setting. As it goes on it's uncovered that the protagonist is a member of royalty from a small kingdom that was destroyed in a massive power struggle between neighboring superpowers. Things quickly turn from bad to worse as another massive war breaks out and it presents him with a once in a lifetime opportunity - a shot at revenge against those that massacred his family, friends and split lands that are rightfully his between themselves. The catch is that the game should have a great number of endings that depend on how you act and they should include
>Maximum revenge, drive the known world to complete and utter chaos by fueling the flames of war and have everyone feel your pain as everything descends into anarchy, would involve betraying your party or using them as fodder
>Some revenge - take out the fellows responsible for your situation and reclaim your birthright, from there you can conquer the world if you've got the guts and power to do it
>Revenge but no reclamation
>Peacefully settle down with the party member waifu of your choosing
>Just keep on soldiering
>Act like a full retard flaunting that you're former royalty and get beaten to death by disgruntled soldiers

Five years prior there was a brutal murder in your hometown. A man was found skinned and hung from a street light with his amrs missing. The killer was never found or was a reason for the killing.
Now years later, dozens of identical killings have suddenly cropped up and spread out around your hometown and neighboring towns.
Being a mercenary it doesn't bother you untill you receive word that one of your childhood friends have been identified as a victim.
>>340222295
Instead of your home town being attacked, your whole planet is attacked! You and the survivors leave on a big space ship and crash land on another planet. You must now survey and colonise your new home.

We'll have the traditional "Game begins in a tavern, and things happen"

I don't know this September guy's work. Is he a blacksmith?
You just felt like sucking some dicks
>>340222295
One day a wizard comes to you saying he has been looking for the Chosen One.
It's not you, of course, but he says you have the ability to find them. Problems arise when you start seeing the mark of the Chosen One on everybody you meet. Heroes, villains, and nameless background characters can all become the chosen one with just a few words from you, but you only get to choose once.
Do you pick an early-game character you like or do you wait until the game gets harder before choosing? Perhaps you're hardcore and can try to clear the game without ever choosing anybody. No matter what, the choice is yours.
>>340222295
RPGMaker thing I was working on a decade ago was going to have the hero be recruited by his nation's military.

>soon, you were drafted into the Mokubushun- a geurella warfare task force who's sole purpose is to take back Jewlisjokuba.
>so, while the war is raging northward, you and your one friend from Moku- boot camp is helping you sight your Kinetic Rifle, sitting in the foremost reconnaissance base.
i could literally make hundreds of openings. it's not that difficult to stay away from just four Cliches.
>Hometown getting attacked
Easy.
>Family member kidnapped
Easy.
>Finding a mystical weapon
Doable, although it's always nice to throw in.
>You raiding a city
Easy enough.
>You are Bill
>You are a simple lad who just wants to see those around you happy
>However, your notice people in your local town are never happy, either angry, depressed, or some form of neutral with no joy in their life
>You decide on your sixteenth birthday, that you should not be here
>You set off with the clothes on your back and some food to find somewhere you can find happy people
>Your journey takes you over many lands in a myriad of directions, you meet a variety of people ranging from as dejected as your old townsfolk to as happy as can be
>You meet them all, keep some for a time before departing once more
>Finally, after forty years of travel, you return to your hometown to find nothing has changed
>Something snaps within you
>You go out and find a band of ruthless bandits and beat the everloving shit out of them
>And then you pillage and burn your hometown to the ground, a changed man
>Some say you had Downs syndrome, still do, but most of them have a knife in their throat now
And no, that was razing a town, not raiding a city.
You are blind, and get lost and stumble your way outside the village limits. Like some shitty comedy movie, the combat centers on contrived accidents that coincidentally work as attacks. Things such as accidentally stepping on a sleeping dog's tail and causing it to attack nearby monsters, shouting "HELLOOOO?" in a mountainous area to cause an avalanche that buries the other side of the field, ducking when a monster is about to throw a punch at you that causes it to hit one of its allies on accident, and so on. The hero doesn't even know he's on an adventure the whole time, and whenever he gets attacked, he just thinks he walked into a bramble patch or a wall or something.
>>340225471
it would take place in that city, it would be a huge city, and you would either be a spy or whatever, trying to take out gov't leaders and shit.
>>340225145
thats a cool idea
>>340225707
So he is both blind and stupid? Being blind doesn't deprive you of basic awareness, you know? The idea is good though, at least the attacks. Undertale did something similar with the pacifying monsters option.
>>340222295
You are the party healer, a cute trap boy. The entire thing is a sexually charged ecchi adventure that pokes fun at JRPG tropes while being filled with trap fanservice.
>You are God
>A group of heroes storm your realm in heaven and beat you up, cutting you down from your power and seemingly killing you
>In reality you escaped to Earth with but a fraction of your strength and your life
>While recouping in the mortal world, the heroes who defeated you have split your power among themselves and become corrupt monsters
>You must stop them, reclaim you power and your position as God, and make the world right once more.

Lufia 2: rise of the sinistrals?
>>340226236
Sounds like Cthulhu Saves the World, but not quite.
>>340226104
He could be incredibly dumb, yeah. Maybe he'd have enough awareness to realize that
>there are monsters outside town
>I'm getting bitten by something
>this must be a monster and I must continue to find my way home!
but I kinda like the idea of him having literally no idea that anything's even amiss. Maybe he's an old senile blind guy.
I could also see him accidentally getting wrapped up in a big cliche JRPG plot without realizing it, and the player witnesses cutaway cutscenes to other folks in the game who discuss things that become relevant.
>"We must find the ancient sword of ultimate power, for it is the only tool that can save our village from its plight!"
>meanwhile, "Oh, what's this? Is this my walking cane that I dropped?"
you slowly realize you were in the spirit realm all along because your home town was already attacked and you died
What are some revenge-story JRPGs?
>>340225707
Being blind is no fun. I'd prefer if the MC is just old, near sighted and can't hear well. Then he goes through all those situations. In the end it's revealed this guy is actually the retired protag of the previous game. Which is why he survives bandits and monsters etc. while making a total comedy of them beating them in silly ways.
You are a young prince, the second son of King Whatshisname of Wherever. After years of war it seems like your homeland and this other kingdom next to it are finally going to achieve peace through mutual agreement. Your brother, who has been an active commander for a few years has now returned, covered in the glory of war, battles, and victory.
Since you will no longer be part of war in your lifetime, you won't share this glory and, foolishly, you decide to go on a journey to the northern lands in order to find and slay a legendary beast that has killed hundreds of men.
In the company of your noble friends you reach out for adventure, treasures and glory. However, since you are an unexperienced spoiled prince and the northern lands are brutal, things quickly go to shit and you must fight for your life to get back home. That's just the beggining.
>You are born under several omens that point towards you being the chosen one.
>But you have a twin brother, it real chosen one could be either of you.
>Since no one can tell, you are both set off to save the world.
>The truth is you know your twin is the chosen one and have been deliberately trying to hide it because you want to be the hero.
>You can, at any point, kill your brother to continue the journey alone.
>>340226168
This nigga gets it.
>>340226683
Cause they usually involve your hometown being attacked and/or your lover being kidnapped
>>340226906
Throw in some Cain and Abel symbolism and I'd be down.
>You are a chef that wants to eat everything.
>EVERYTHING
>You save the world purely as a side effect of you killing all the monsters so you can eat them.
>>340226906
What about the possibility of a negative chosen one? Not a chosen one who will be a savior, but kind of an Antichrist deal. The game begins with your exile as you desperately try to prove to your once-beloved townsfolk that you would never cause disaster to your people.In a self-fulfilling prophecy, the MC grows bitter from his exile and decides to give the people that betrayed him the very disaster that they were expecting out of him.That story would probably make >>340226683 happy.
>>340227352
>Kirby RPG
I'd buy it.
>Due to shenanigans, your mind is now trapped inside a slime's body
>You meet the hero's party when they try to kill you for easy EXP
>You realise these fuckers are strong but complete idiots, they'll never save the world unless you guide them on what to do
>You must use your slime powers to help the party save the world
>>340222295
An "irl" Military JRPG where you are a basic grunt training and preparing for deployment. It'll be like a dungeon crawler in those sections and a Persona-ish VN in the training/social sections.

I actually wrote a pretty neat story for a game I was making in RPG maker. But after writing the story and planning out the world map, I realized I had no artistic ability and couldn't design aesthetically pleasing nor natural looking areas worth a damn. After redesigning the starting town like two dozen times and each revision looking like shit, I scrapped the whole project.
It's a shame because I think the story I had was pretty good. Basically the main character was a spellbreaker working for the emperor, in a society where magic had been outlawed due to atrocities committed by a powerful sorcerer a couple of decades ago. The local alchemist had created a bunch of soulless puppet children with intent to one day bind the soul of the aforementioned sorcerer to one of their empty vessel bodies. One of the puppets (who'd always had a creepy interest in the arcane growing up) realizes what he is and confronts the alchemist. Wanting the power he could potentially harness all to himself and not wanting to be used, he murders the alchemist, the other puppets, and the spellbreaker who originally defeated the evil sorcerer (whom he sees as a threat). This kicks off the plot.
So the hometown wasn't going to be attacked, exactly, but the legendary spellbreaker (who had become a depressed alcoholic) being murdered kicks up a fuss and you're sent to bring his murderer in.
The puppet eventually does absorb the evil sorcerer's soul, and standard spellbreaking techniques are not sufficient to nullify his magic. The main character goes down a pretty dark path, committing increasingly questionable atrocities with an "ends justify the means" outlook in order to gain the power necessary to stop the puppet. For example, you slay a benevolent dragon to use its blood to heighten your magic immunity. The ritual to seal away the sorcerer's soul requires the use of two innocent "lock and key" souls. He eventually turns into a depressed alcoholic as a result. Like pottery.

As usual, Soul Nomad. That's more SRPG though.
>>340227862
I know this feel. Even if there are games that start out like this, they pretty much end up with the heroes getting tangled up in a real plot before long.
Actually, add some pirate thematics to this idea and you've got yourself a great game. Just a rowdy band of jolly thieves who've decided to live life on the open seas, and eke out a living by stopping at port towns and stealing food from local stalls when nobody's looking, scamming people out of money with little gambling games and such. As the game continues, your band of thieves grows bigger and you start performing bigger and bigger heists. There's no big bombastic narrative ending or anything, just a final challenge of robbing some rich king or something.
>You are a 29 year old NEET otaku virgin
>If you can keep your lifestyle up for another year, you will become a wizard and you can finally make your waifu real.

Parents are dead/missing and you found yourself shouldering their massive debt. Oh hey, I found a clicke JRPG trope that OP forgot to include!
You and your whole town mysteriously shrink down to the size of bugs, and you all need to group together to learn how to adapt to your new lives as micropeople, creatively climb and get around the obstacles of the previous civilization that are now too big for your tiny proportions, engage in combat against insects/small mammals/snakes/birds, and find out what happened or who did this to you.

You are walking in the woods and you find a mystical blade, suddenly you hear an explosion and you run back to your town to find it is under attack and the bad guy has killed most of your family and kidnapped your little sister, taking him back to metropolis, a steampunk city. You build a team of golden hearted outlaws and thieves and raid the city trying to save your sister and overthrow the totalitarian evil metropolis leadership.

>You need to drag the witch from the final boss dungeon all the way back to the castle so she can lift the curse on the princess

You're the second in command to your high school's queen bitch in charge. You two are excellent friends, but there's tension deep down, and when you find a possessed knife, it drives you to kill her. Only she doesn't completely die - her ghost sticks around to haunt you.
Now everyone at the school is looking to you to fill the social power gap your dead friend left; you have to investigate the mysterious knife, keep your school from descending into chaos, and avoid the police, all with the companionship and brutally pragmatic advice of your best friend slash victim's ghost.

That would actually be a really good concept for a game, as long as you are given ample tools to combat enemies even as you are weaker than them, so even if you are weaker, if you employ the proper skills you can win by the skin of your teeth.
Also maybe some kind of mechanic where you can pay exp or levels to get an advantage with something, so you can risk throwing exp and levels away to help yourself out some other way.

How about an extra scenario from the witch's point of view where you fall in love with the knight but also know you're getting cucked over in favour of the princess from the very start? And you have the choice of releasing the princess from her curse (which would make the knight happy but you sad) or just killing the princess instead of lifting the curse, capture the now lv 1 knight and try to corrupt and seduce him into loving you?
If you want, this could involve tons of reverse rape and hate fucking.
A band of soldiers loyal to the king who owns your family farm show up. They take advantage of your parents, stealing chickens and pigs for meat, etc.
The next morning you get drafted to fight in the king's army. They give you a busted shitty sword and helmet belonging to the last kid they drafted who died.

Like using EXP/levels to get skill points to learn different skills? Like, maybe your defence stat will go down because you're a lower level but you learned the Defend skill that reduces damage by 50%.
Plus you might need to grind for gold to buy items you'll need to make up for losing levels. Potions heal a fixed number, so become more useful the lower your max HP is. Items like throwing knives or bombs might be weaker than skills you can use right now but will eventually be stronger than what you can do later.

Maybe the knight was a min-maxing sort of player, and by reducing his level in specific ways he "remembers" skills he forgot in his quest to be able to mash a more effectively.

How about at the end, the witch releases the princess from the curse, and the princess takes the witch's magic, transforming herself into a level 100 final boss monster. Turns out she wanted to do this from the start, but didn't expect to be cursed by the witch.
To lend a hand, the witch casts the same curse on the now monster princess, so as you're fighting her, all the damage you inflict on the princess monster doesn't take away her HP. it reduces her level.
Either you absorb every level you take from her, or you end the game as a lvl 1 knight, prepared to go back out and raise yourself up to your heroic self on a brand new adventure.

You'd need to have the whole skilltree available from the beginning, and lose commands from there.
Maybe some sort of respec ritual available at some towns that sacrifices lvl for skillpoints to keep techniques learned.
Grunts have little impact on level, so you could grind until you are 1xp away from deleveling and use the respec ritual. However, the lower your level, the more EXP you gain/lose from bosses.

I guess you stop leeching levels when you both reach level 50, so you're both on equal footing.

It could be explained by the princess monster simply laughing at you and not even trying to kill you as you desperately strike at her, not realizing you are draining her levels until she hits level 70, at which point your own level is at enough that you have some leeway to survive her attacks.
>>340233093
>This could be interesting, although I wonder how you're supposed to not die instantly against a lv 100 boss when you're lv 1?
Strategy. So when she unleashes her overpowered summon attack that does 20,000 damage, you still survive it wit your tiny amount of HP because you have a skill or a spell that lets you survive any attack with 1 HP. This gives you a chance to cast barriers that change the % damage you take, or cast reflections, etc.
Or maybe the ending sequence makes you use all those items in your inventory you saved "for later."

>You are the Brotagonist, on a quest with your bros to find the Holy Grail
>The Holy Grail is a cup that never runs out of beer

Example:
The Brotagonist distracts a hamplanet vegan by Broiling Broccoli and using it to distract her.
The Broccoli has a little hat and sunglasses, because it is a bro too.
The Protagonist gets cursed early on with future sight after saving a spirit they mistakenly thought was in trouble of being killed by GENERIC EVIL ARMY FACTION. They see a lot of things in the future, bad things, but you ignore them because you thought it was just some weird trickery until you hear later on from some villagers that x bad thing did happen in a nearby town.
Starting to realize that the curse might be more than just a spirits trickery you go to investigate.
Then it'd just go from there mostly as your generic JRPG of making friends, fighting things and trying to stop the bad things you keep seeing.At some point its revealed that one of your allies is the spirit that cursed you and, on top of that, they're the cause of the bad happenings. After meeting them at the first town you explore you've been unwittingly taking them to each place a shitty thing happens at.
it's not great and it's mostly based off one of my characters RP backstories and a buncha Xenoblade Chronicles themes but i think future sight is a super cool thing to be "cursed" with.

Maybe she's busy wasting the royal court full of high level adventurers and mages? The knight would be a trashmob not worth the effort to squish.
Your first hit takes 1/10000th of a level, so you need to use bombs and daggers to take 1/25th instead. After you drop her level and gain a bit of power, you take a bigger chunk of EXP like some clicker game. When you get big enough to take 1 level per hit, then she notices(probably killed all the court adventurers and your levelstealing buff has disappeared too)

You have to start fighting off the world's lost species, dinosaurs, unicorns etc.
There isn't really an ending but after everything is safer you and the party say "fuck it, let's build a house" at the game ends.
While going to the market to buy neet fuel you see a man in the alley raping you. You try to stop him, but he is too strong and you die of burned asshole, he now looks aty you ready to rape your virgin asshole, when you come out of nowhere with a huge ass sword and try to kill hi m. You tell you to run while you hold him down.
You arrive at home and masturbates to the thought of you getting raped by that guy.
Someone is knocking on the door, you open it and it's you again, you explain to you that the guy from the alley has the task of raping you in all possible dimensions and you know have to go in a journey dealing with all kinds of rapists to learn how to deal with the dude from the alley.
