Anyway, don't mind me, I'm just firing off some musings after playing through Chrono Trigger and Lufia and the Fortress of Doom back-to-back.

You can really tell when someone carefully measured how many actions it takes to finish a fight, what level the player would be when they reach a boss, and how tough that boss had to be to challenge that level. And you can tell when no one did any of that.
#retrogaming #gamedesign #jrpg

You're the game designer. You know how many steps between the dungeon entrance and the boss. You know the encounter rate. You know how much EXP those encounters give. Now put it all together, and you know what level you have to design the boss to match.

HOWEVER, I make an exception for encounter balance in turn-based JRPGs. I was boots on the ground during the oldschool RPGMaker days, back when you had to get it from a Russian hacker. And what I learned is encounter balance is actually very easy in this genre.

Usually when people say "they should have done xyz better, it would have been so easy" I take a step back, because game design is actually really hard and the kinds of small changes you perceive as a player might be very difficult to actually implement.

Flavor text tells what an item is, but mechanics dictate how it shapes the world. If rules don't match the lore, immersion breaks.
