Not to sound too cocky but nothing has boosted my confidence about making an RPG like playing a bunch of JRPGs. Like, oh, right. Actually, I DO get what makes these games feel so good. And also they are also struggling with the same balance issues I am and it was fine. Hell yeah
not sure if you played Battlechasers, it's one of the most fun RPGs I've played in the last few years (has a turn-based combat system similar to FF series)
