If Sega ever tries another Sonic RPG, what they should do is have the basic story be Sonic and friends have to liberate thirteen areas of the world from Eggman and his twelve top minions, his Eggman's Dozen as it were.

>chapter one is the intro, Eggman and his generals launch their assault and capture much of the planet
>chapters two through thirteen are defeating each of the generals and freeing their controlled areas
>chapter fourteen is the assault on Eggman's base

Have Metal Sonic and Sage as recurring bosses with new strategies and gimmicks in each fight. And do NOT make the battle gameplay a horribly-done Elite Beat Agents knockoff.

Starting off with a basic story for Sonics (coughs) first RPG would be a good move. Paper Mario despite all the new characters and lore was still Mario rescuing Peach from Bowser. Problem is that Mario got his RPGs early on into the franchises life but now fans may not find a basic scenario worth the very long wait for a Sonic RPG, especially when Sonic is more known for risk taking stories.

It's still a pretty basic story, Sonic vs Eggman, there's just more people to beat up. Their individual personalities, motives, startegies, etc would be the most complex part and even then can be kept a bit minimal, though people would complain about that as much as they would complain about it being complex.

I wasn't saying your idea wouldn't work as a basic starting point for an RPG series. But I am thinking if that's what people want for sonic RPG right now considering how long they've waited for one. Personally I would love it if they adapted the Archie Sonic universe as its own game series. The reboot universe blends itself very well to a game structure.

True, Archie would work great for a spinoff RPG series, like Mega Man Battle Network did for the Mega Man franchise.

There's a sonic rpg?

>>714647475
Yes. A very bad one. I'll just post one of the tracks from its OST, see if you can recognize it as it's from a past game.

Huh, I'd think a sonic rpg would be hard to mess up.

>>714647979
Bioware somehow managed it. They assigned a brand-new team of people who hadn't made a single game yet to it, ripped off Elite Beat Agents to make a battle system that incredibly boring and repetitive and punishes you for even a single mistake, the OST and sound effects are atrocious, and the story is straight from fanfiction.net.

The Egg Bosses were shit. Maw was the worst one. Then they disappeared.

>>714648223
Akhlut and Tundra were cool.

I don't see game Eggman as the type to employ organic minions.

For one, nobody likes the guy enough to work for him unless they're either forced to (the Deadly Six) or have something to gain from it (Infinite being seduced by the power of the Phantom Ruby).

Second, why bother when he can just create robots? Even then, his own robots frequently turn against him. Eggman is unlikable that even his own robots start to dislike him when they develop enough free will.

>>714648710
Hey, even the most hated people have others working for them for various reasons.

I don't think we'll get a "Eggman won, so now we have to liberate" story for a long time, since Forces received such a poor reception. If there's ever another Sonic RPG it would be a standard sonic game plot of "here's a new location and Sonic is gonna stop Eggman from being such an asshole there"
