A game I'm making with Game Maker. It is slated to have 27 playable characters, two heroes (one of them always the protagonist) and one villain (not necessarily the final boss. Could be anyone except for Darkside Emil) representative from:
-Tales of Phantasia
-Tales of Destiny
-Tales of Eternia
-Tales of Destiny 2
-Tales of Symphonia
-Tales of Legendia
-Tales of the Abyss
-Tales of Vesperia
-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Gameplay will include Overlimits, where the character will be invincible and retain a special ability during this time. Villain characters will generally be much stronger than the heroes, so those are great for those who either started playing or just want to be cheap (all characters except the main protagonists of their game will have to be unlocked, however. Methods differ.)
It will feature an Adventure mode, with its own unique storyline and enemies that are not playable. It will be similar to Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary. Further details on that are yet to be revealed.
When the game starts out, you will have 9 playable characters. You can unlock the ally heroes through doing battles, but villains must be unlocked through Adventure mode.
Note: Gameplay may differ from this in Final Releases. Anything is changeable and already has been.
Now, some questions and answers:
Q: This game looks boring.
A: It won't be. Problem is that I had no one to play the game with me, so I had to control two characters at once to do this, which gets hard.
Q: Will there be AI characters?
A: Sadly, no. As good as I am with Game Maker, I suck when it comes down to AI patterns. For the benefit of the player, it's best I not try.
Q: Can I help?
A: Of course you can! If you are any good at spriting in the Narikiri Dungeon 2 and 3 style, I'd love it if you could help me with characters. Send me a PM and I'll give you a list of characters to choose from and do. I'll give you credit in the game as well.
Q: Is there an engine to this game somewhere?
A: It doesn't have all the features of this game here, but there is on Yoyogames.com. Here it is: http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/83282
Q: How will we know who the characters in the game are before it is released?
You can either check the official site (link coming soon) or you can see the character videos I will soon upload.
wow this looks amazing. cant wait to try it!

Yeah, especially now, since Spell-Casting characters have really insane attacks (but they cost HP) at their disposal, like Demon Lance, Grave, Holy Lance, Demon Lance Zero, Devil Spear, etc. (actually, those are the only ones hardwired into the game so far! There will be more, however).
I haven't tried the game with anybody yet, but it looks really fun, I can't wait to verse someone, myself!

Well, as I mentioned in the video description, gameplay is subject to change upon final release. It actually has, now the camera zooms in when you are close to the enemy and zooms out when further away (unfortunately, there's a black area of nothingness around the battlefield. Not sure how to fix that. I'll try anyway, however.).
