That's it, though. All these games still involve heroes, monsters, and adventures. I want towns only. Even Rune Factory still made you go on adventures.
What is the town without the hero, though? The type of town you're talking about it so anachronistic to that world, their features wouldn't exist without adventurers.
Dude, town management sim where you have to compete with other RPG towns.
I should make it.
Like, your town would get attacked by monsters, you'd have to attract heroes to beat dungeons and kill baddies by making your town awesome.
The entertaining part would come about 1/2 way through the game when you start offering tax incentives/outright payment to villains to encourage them to build dungeons in the area, thus drawing in more heroes to and keep your shops and inns in business.

It's townsfolk? Townsfolk are still people. And where there are people there are things to do. There can be adventurers in the game, but they just can't be the focus. Even Dungeon Village the adventurers get most of the focus. I want the spotlight on the blacksmith the whole time.

I would just have the adventurer's be another resource. They fight monters to make your town defenses not get destroyed and also bring back items. But the Blacksmith and the Magic shop fight over who gets what items and you have to pick. Then, which stores you have determines what heroes you have, and they have different strengths, so you have to be careful.
Ald'Rhun and Sadrith Mora; they're everything I love about Morrowind. I also have many good memories of Goldenrod.
Everyone is liking these Morrowind towns. I have to say the Oblivion towns were pretty sad. My favorite wasn't even a town, it was the secret paladin outpost where I stored my badass armor and my armor bros.

I spend most of my Morrowind days in Ald'Rhun, but I'm not sure if I'm too fond of it as a town. Way too many sandstorms and living mostly under the ground seems a little dwarfish to me.

That's because Oblivion was basically generic fantasy world the game, while Morrowind has mushroom tree -houses and giant crab shells as a roof for underground housing.
WoW - Dalaran or Shattrath. They were both well designed towns to some how I kept discovering something meta about the game. They were also hubs to where people just messed around and hung out at.
Is there some way to play Arcadia without a Dreamcast? IIRC the GameCube version did not compare.
I thought they were the same game. You didn't get the little side adventure stuff that you could play on the DC memory card, though.
Is there a Dreamcast emulator that also emulates the crazy memory card?
I have no idea how that would work. It was a completely separate piece of hardware. Buttons and shit. You could literally remove it from the controller and play it like a tiny Gameboy. They actually used it in games like that.

But I think in that game you just hired the heroes. You didn't have to actively attract them...
OK, how did it take me this long to think of Skies of Arcadia? Pretty much everything in that game was awesome.
Also Sanctuary :P.
