New game idea!
Classic styled JRPG game. An evil empire has taken over half the world, oppressed the people, and has enslaved a race of magical beings to fuel their horrifying war machines. The main characters lives in a peaceful remote village. One day, the army passes by to search for the princess who is leading the rebellion. Hearing rumour that she's hiding in the village, the commander orders the village to be burned to the ground. After the hero escapes, he finds himself in the resistance hideout, where the princess asks him to join. The hero then shrugs, and tells her "you're probably exaggerating. Let's wait and see how this goes."
