I think I'd apply for the position of guy who's super interested in something that's only interesting cause it's gsmeplay relevant. I'd stand by a river staring at it day and night and when the protagonist talks to me I'd say "I'd bet I could use a boat to cross this river."

      At least the rules are better (even if the gameplay is shit)

      And there was more worldbuilding involved.

        It actually resembles a sport that people might actually play, unlike Quidditch where only one player on each of the teams actually matters.

        Take out the water and have it be played in an anti-gravity field and you've got a top-tier sci fi sport IMO.

            Yeah, it's like... why even play? Every single person on the Quidditch team should just drop what they're doing and help the Seeker find and catch the Snitch as fast as possible.

    The main antagonist that everyone secretly likes more than the main characters.

    What? Villains aren't playable so it's technically an NPC

    Since I'm in my thirties, and therefore expendable in a JRPG, I'd like to be the NPC who has an optional quest where main characters play matchmaker. Give me the safest happily ever after please.

    I'd be the rando that keeps track of the player's records despite having no means of obtaining that information. "Wow hero you've taken 53,211 steps so far and have collected 76/80 recipes!"

    I am going to be a youngster who's super enthusiastic about an article of clothing. My hat, my sparkly dress, my shorts, you name it. Then after my dialogue I do a spin and little stars shoot around my character sprite.

    I'm that weird collector always asking for your stuff and giving nothing back, but if you give me one of all 297 unique item types I forge them all into the Ultimate Weapon for your jack-of-all-trades party member. Of course I don't help you keep track of what items you gave me, how did you know?
