But yes, to make an RPG in the style of Final Fantasy 1, spacebar holding is inevitable. No offense, but this tells me that you haven't really played FF1. The game actually punishes you for holding down the attack button for one thing. I guess I'm not sure I understand what this thread is about the...

Baconlabs was talking about FF1. Mages in that game need to conserve their spells for when they're really needed and when you do attack with them, they're not going to kill a single thing. I have to fact check stuff. Also, nobody is saying that the attack command should have better DPS or utility th...

You can get avoid this by not having any easy enemies. You could make battles less frequent but have them all be life-threatening. Having easy enemies that you grind through is a waste of time anyway.
Just a heads up: Mages aren't whipping out the attack command because enemies are easy to kill.

What I'm trying to say is that there'll always be some form of spacebar holding, even in well designed games that utilize other commands because the engine makes it such a fast, easy option so it shouldn't be something to be alarmed about.

I refer to this type of battle as a puzzle battle. It's a battle that doesn't follow the regular rules of the game. In my opinion, to develop tactics, players need to be well-informed of the rules and expectations of the game system. That way, they can plan proactively instead of playing reactively...

Stuff I know about nowadays that contradicts past arguments

I used to argue "battles should have strategy and tactics". While I believe this is still true, what I didn't know at the time is that designing bosses where you have to attack anything other than the boss itself in order to do indirect damage or trigger some event does not add to the chal...

My internet connection isn't good enough to host

Plus my building plans are mainly to get to exploring quickly and not have to spend forever building (like one guy I know does).

Since we plan on doing this, I'm gonna lay down some plans for buildings. We'll start by going completely wood buildings. Trees are so plentiful and capable of being replanted that we won't have to worry about having enough materials or spending a lot of time collecting them. 1. NPC Housing. Two sep...

I am a Terraria player. I may go Middle core since I think there needs to be a rather large group of Hardcore players to take down a hard mode boss without dying.
