The Multiverse - A Crossover RPG

I've been screwing around in my head for an idea for a game I've been wanting to make since i was about 10 years old, now that i have atleast enough skill in RPG Maker 2003 and GameMaker, I think i can bring my little childhood dream to life.

See this game is a Kingdom Hearts-esque game, except with characters from all over, as in Video Games, Movies, Anime, Comics even.

I want to have a system similar to the dualtechs in Chrono Trigger where the main character can do special, incredibly powerful moves depending on who's in the party.

The story is in Pre-Dev. stages but it goes like One evil monster is trying to merge all the universes together and then destroy them, or something like that. For now its not all important, i just want to see what you guys think of my idea.

Now for the characters i want to include, that list is quite massive and i KNOW to ever finish this game i can't include them all, the first 10 are the ones that WILL be in the game, no questions asked.

Zelda
Halo
Metroid
Super Mario
Final Fantasy Dissidia (To combine the FFs into one)
Metal Gear
Marvel
DC Comics
Dragonball Z
Devil May Cry

These 10 franchises i feel truly deserve to be in my game, and i'll be focusing on them the most. Everything else i'll try but depending on whether or not anyone else wants in we'll see.

Chrono Trigger
Gears of War
God of War
Breath of Fire
Street Fighter
inFAMOUS
Soul Caliber
Ninja Gaiden
Castlevania

There are others but these are all the ones i want in my game the most.

Now i want to make this game in RPG Maker 2003, as it would be easiest to make the kind of battle system i would want. I'm also considering making it a FFVI Rom heck

Main Chars
Italia ( I'm Italian so this fits )
Cero

Zelda
Y-Link(w/ masks) (this fits better into the story   masks = own, adult link comes on 2nd visit)

Halo
Master Chief

Metroid
Samus

Super Mario
Mario, Luigi

Final Fantasy Dissidia (To combine the FFs into one)
Cloud, Squall, Terra (3 characters here simply because of the AWESOMEness of Final Fantasy)

Metal Gear
Solid Snake

Marvel
Wolverine, Spider-man

DC Comics
Batman, Superman

Dragonball Z
Goku, Vegeta (Both will have Super Saiyan, no SSJ2,3,4 because they would be crazy overpowered then)

Devil May Cry
Dante, Nero (Both will have Devil Trigger

Now for a more clear view on the story.

The main villain for a time IS actually a character which we'll call the Fallen Angel for now, yes this character is greatly inspired by Sephiroth. He was once a guardian of the worlds ( Think Keyblade Masters in KH ), as a guardian of the world he had more power than anyone in the worlds he ruled over can ever hope to gain. He went mad with his great power and completely broke the rules of his position by attacking one of the worlds (the main characters') and ruling it for himself. He was the most powerful of the guardians and as others went to stop him, he began draining their power with a magic forbidden by the guardians, eventually he became stronger than the original guardians and killed them, leaving him as the strongest in The Multiverse.

Thats the basic prologue, not using enough big words and such but thats the basic idea, I'm not good with names so if anyone can think of any names for any original character please feel free to tell, also i don't want generic names i want something epic sounding, yet not fruity at all.

I also don't want to write the area-specific stories her for spoiler reasons

Heh, until i actually start work on the game its pretty much a fanfic. And once i actually write the full overview of the game anybody that wants to read it can pm me for a quick, yet spoiler filled summary of the main story (excluding universe-specific stories)

Since we're in a Zelda forum i thought it'd be nice to start it off with a small preview of my Link sprite, i'm going FFVI style considering i STILL might make it a rom heck after all.

If anyone wants to help me out in any way reply here, pm me, or E-mail me at TomMyG17@live.com

Re: The Multiverse - A Crossover RPG

I agree with DJ. The story is really nice. Reminds me a bit of Kamen Rider Decade, but it is a very good story nonetheless. I do have some questions.

From your description I can make up that it is an adventure?

Is there a linear progression in your story, or do you allow some deviation from the main path? Can the player revisit already explored areas/worlds and/or take sneak peaks in not yet fully explored areas/worlds.

The final question: I see that with Marvel you have Wolverine and Spider-Man in the cast. But why not the most brilliant Marvel character: Deadpool? Or do you think it is to difficult to make some funny dialogue for the guy?

Yeah the player can revisit previously beaten areas, in fact i plan to have  every area visited storywise-line twice, and a few getting a third visit. And Deadpool is awesome, i was going to make him a mini-boss, i chose wolverine and spider-man because they're the most recognized marvel characters.
And also i WANT to have it so you can do each area in any order, but i don't know if that would be possible, but if i CAN do it, i will.
One more thing, the gameplay will be entirely turn based rpg style, but i'll cut down on random battles, because i know how annoying they can be, i'll also make it so grinding isn't really necessary. Thanks for the responses.

wow... i posted this up on The Spriters Resource, and everyone there seems like a total !@#$%, i mean what the hell is wrong with those !@#$%. Sorry no real update yet other than that link is almost fully done, i'll have him, along with the 2 custom main characters done by Saturday. And i'll post up a very brief gameplay vid of them all fighting something, still early stages but just so i can officially feel like i can put this in the WiP section.
