Sometimes I wish we got SMRPG sequels instead of PM.

One of the directors of SMRPG was actually interviewed on the matter, and he was pretty clear:

[quote author=Yoshihiko Maekawa]Actually, I don't feel like I want to return to that world and use those characters in another game, I feel like I was able to accomplish what I wanted to with that world and those characters and the gameplay ideas that came out of those, and now I mostly feel like I want to make something different.[/quote]
It's a curious view for sure. After all, Geno was in Superstar Saga, so it should not be an excuse to cover copyright issues. And by the way, the other director, Chihiro Fujioka, worked on the menu design for Dream Team. Both of them worked on Paper Jam, Maekawa as producer like in Dream Team, Fujioka on world design.
 
Yeah I know, M&L is pretty much the SMRPG sequels.

Though it's not the characters from the game I'm interested in I just want more varied party members that are significant Mario characters. I'd always use Peach and Bowser the moment they became available, didn't give a shit about mallow or Geno.
 
I still don't get why the Donkey Kong and Wario characters can't get in on that RPG action.

Or really any other spinoff characters.

this is why he's a director of an rpg game and not some of the mario rpg fanboys out there
 
If I wanted a terrible Mario fanfic I'd just play SPM again.

I'd like the same to happen with Paper Mario.

Baby Mario as a partner would be neat.
 
Baby Mario in anything would be neat
 
If I had my way we'd be using just mario, luigi, peach and maybe some 4th person instead of the OC partners in Paper Mario.

That would mean losing out on characters like Goombella, Vivian, and Bobbery who are infinitely more compelling than Princess "pink because I'm a girl" Peach.
 
I would easily throw away minor one off characters to get more potential development out of the mainstays, in a bloody heartbeat.
