>>113729266I can think of a lot of possibilities but it kinda depends on the budget. An arpg would be fun, but if they have to do something less than a AAA budget (and lets be real here, they would. This is incalculably unlikely to begin with.) then a strategy rpg ala Final Fantasy Tactics would be a good fit.
I'd want a skill tree that's the same for all characters, but HUGE, and each character would have different aptitudes that give them bonuses with certain types of skills. But you should be able to redo the skill trees for free between missions. Also different characters would obviously have different pets, including new ones for any character that doesn't have one yet.
I want lots of dialogue, I want Super Robot Wars type animations, and I want that Fire Emblem thing where when you park two characters next to each other they have a little conversation and get a stat boost.
Above all I want an original story. DO NOT just rehash the series. It'd be neat if there was a choice system where instead of good and evil, you can either be a good little corporate drone, or you can push back. I realize a good number of those are going to boil down to "should I mind wipe this person or not?" but there are other fun things you could do.
You should only get to use Phil for like one or two missions before new game plus and he should be fucking TERRIFYINGLY powerful.
