I'd get rid of the mechanic of getting unnecessary doubles. Specifically with randomized drops/rewards. I play Animal Crossing as a part of my daily ritual sometimes. I'd check for new recipes, get duplicates, and stop playing for the day. It's just not fun to reduce a game to work like that.
I don't think that there shouldn't be any chance or grind involved, but I think an invisible coding quirk that makes a new or desired item inevitably drop would go to reduce some stress.
I think sometimes grinds like that can really mess up people who can just dive into games or have that compulsive desire to get 100% completion.
Get rid of any game that mashes real time and turn based combat. It's never worked. Stop trying it. Choose one or the other, dammit
You mean something like Final Fantasy XII or something like Valkyria Chronicles?
Like KotOR or Dragon Age?
Not sure what exactly Ho_Chi_Chungus is talking about, but both of those are in the "real time with pause" lineage of CRPGs like Baldur's Gate (BG, KotOR, and DA:O we're all developed by Bioware). I like them, and there seems to be a big enough audience since they keep making more :vivian-shrug:

What about FF7RE? Real time, but bullet-time menuing
I want that game destroyed, now and forever. They should have just made a new game.
But the remake is really good.
As great as FF7 was, it had some room for improvement in its writing and suffered from hardware limitations and the relative infancy of mechanics it implemented.
FF7 doesn't need to be remade, it was part of an evolution of mechanics. Remaking it with modern stuff is pointless, it doesn't further the medium. And the story is too radically different for it to really be sharing the original with new fans.
