I hate stealing mechanics in traditional JRPGs (hexbear.net)

Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row

I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts

I double extra love it when it's a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes

Someone should try making a classic JRPG but with the game mechanics replaced with something that's actually good

Have you played Omori? It's not rocket science, but I thought the emotion system was fun to play with.
