When you talk about RPG elements for Paprium, I think "Guardian heroes" and "Street Gangs".
A light power/level up (very) basic features system.
Learning new moves by discovering key items or defeating special ennemies (shops ? books ? hidden rooms ? secret areas...).

Anything on par with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game and I'll be happy.

I've always just assumed the RPG factor of this game pretty much boils down to different paths ala Guardian Heroes, Contra Hard Corps, Star Fox 64, etc. Leveling up doesn't sound like it'd make sense since a beat 'em up is pretty linear even with multiple paths, not really any room for grinding or anything. Would be pretty arbitrary.

Secret rooms or items though, like maybe objects that people would be prone to pass up not knowing they could be messed with to reveal things, that sounds more like a possibility. I can imagine being in the subway area and finding an alternate path that's not obvious that leads to the darker tunnels and eventually underground or something odd like that, for example. Would have a hell of a time explaining how a bunch of baddies found such an obscure area and are loitering it forever till your character shows up though :p

Have you never played Castle Crashers? :P

As far as supportive, I'm not sure that observing that the game only has gay characters in it for them to get beat up means I support the game. I am sure that preprogrammed robots attack me because of politics and emotions, and not because of logic. My taste preferences on games seem to cause misguided attacks on my character for instance, that my avatar is from the Eternal Champions game, and there is a couple of naked guys in the game. Then a dickless robot guy applauded that logic only because he wanted to win over his view with a majority instead of making sense.

People who have a problem with gay or bisexual characters in movies & games should go see a therapist.

Or kill themselves, I don't mind which.

Of course, if that isn't you then fair enough. I still don't think Fonzie has put sexuality politics in his game though, it just wears it's inspiration on it's sleeve.

I think this thread has exposed who here feels insecure about their sexuality that they have to panic over it. (seriously guys, I didn't even notice any of this in the screenshots until the whole thing started)

This is a hobby that attracts people that get offended that women are playable in games, so what can you really expect

Pier Solar? Maybe I quit for a day or two but I know I beat the game. The combat wasn't the best. It wasn't as good as the Lunars. The game was slightly over-designed since it was trying too hard to be "different" as opposed to "good". But in the end I still enjoyed the game.

I don't think that the majority cared. People just want a great new game to play on their old console.

I don't see what sexuality has to do with it, I just find the character design unappealing.
Oh wait I forgot.. Its 2017, everybody has to be accepting of everything or you get called a horrible trump supporting Muslim burning gay basher who eats fucking babies!

For all we know the main character of the game is gay, but nobody complains because its not a silly design.

Kinda sad actually, you can't really say anything these days or you get crucified.

I dunno what you guys are worrying about, Pier Solar had no PC culture in it and Paprium will not likely either. Fonzie loves the 90's and if the game was PC it would have reflected in the trailer.

Speaking about it, i would love to see a joke edit of the trailer with pro PC themes.

No, I was talking about the time you rage quit playing Star Odyssey. With how the enemies became impossibly unfair the more and more grinding you did. It was a known issue back when that game was re-released. I actually enjoyed it myself, but I was pointing out that a game that punishes you for grinding too much, rather than reward you, can be unfair.
