I'm currently in development of a new RPG game, and I wanted to inquire anyone who had an opinion about what style of gameplay it should feature. Here's a list of the different RPG game styles.
Normal Style
Example: BDX's Final Fantasy Sonic X 5 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/
288804
- Limit Breaks are usable once LB/SP Bar is 100% full
- Average amount of team battles
- All gameplay is entirely RPG battle style
- Attacks won't be very stimulating(very quick, fast attack animations)
- Probably up to 4 attacks
- Summoning will be usable
- Unlockable in-game "Achievements"
- Will be almost entirely text, with a few voice-actor clips
Dynamic-Normal Style
Example: BDX's Final Fantasy Sonic X 6: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/
443187
- Limit Breaks are usable once LB/SP Bar is 100% full
- Mostly 1-on-1 style battles
- Most of the gameplay will be RPG battles
- Animations are extremely detailed
- Probably up to 4 attacks
- Summoning will be usable
- Unlockable in-game "Achievements"

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Style
Example: Watch some YouTube videos of KH: BBS and pretend its an RPG lol
- No Limit Breaks
- Almost entirely 1-on-1 style battles
- Most of the gameplay will be RPG battles

- 1 very basic attack, accompanied by possibly up to 8 dynamic special attacks(Deck Commands)
- "Command Styles" will be accessible regularly
- "Shotlock" usage is still debatable
- Dimension Links/Summonings will be usable
- Will be balanced between voice-acting and text
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Style
Example: Watch some YouTube videos of KH: 358/2 Days and pretend its an RPG lol
