What do YOU want to see in an RPG game.

Give me ideas, and rate the following aspects of the RPG game in order from Most Important to Least Important

Keep in mind your rating a Scratch-RPG, not a console/PC RPG... If that affects your decision.

Graphics- How does the aesthetic appeal of the game affect it's overall quality?
Story- Does a story make a game 'better'?
Music- Does music keep you entertained?
Good Battle Engine- How will a character damage another?
Variety of Characters- Do you like different 'classes' and things like Fighter, Mage, etc?
Variety of weaponry/moves- Do you want TONS of spells, swords, shields, armor, etc?
Variety of enemies- Do you care if all of the enemies look the same?
Uniqueness- Do want some aspect of a game that you've never seen?
Performance- Are you worried about a laggy game?
Depth- Do you want to play this game for hours, or minutes?

(Think about the questions when measuring how important each thing is to you, you don't actually need to answer it)

I want all the advice I can get, I think I'll make a comeback to Scratch if I make a good idea for a game.

Re: What do YOU want to see in an RPG game.

The general presentation of the game should be the most important I think.

By that do you mean generally how well the game works (no bugs), and that it looks nice?

Without a story, it isn't a role-playing game, its just a fighting game with powerups.
