# Final Fantasy Style - RPG Template | Summer Engine

## About this template

Final Fantasy-style games deliver epic scale: party-based combat with ATB or turn-based systems where each character fills a role, devastating summons like espers and aeons as ultimate abilities, and airship travel across a massive world. Crystal-driven chosen one narratives, job and class systems, materia or magicite spell customization, and optional superbosses that test mastery of every system. Cinematic cutscenes punctuate a sweeping orchestral score.

Summer Engine helps you build the ATB or turn-based battle system, summon sequences, job class trees, and world map through conversation. You define the party, the crystal mythology, and the empire threatening everything. The AI constructs the combat framework, equipment systems, and story chapter structure.

The best Final Fantasy-style games make players feel like they are on a genuine adventure. Towns feel alive, dungeons feel dangerous, boss fights feel earned, and the ending feels like the culmination of 40 hours of investment in characters who grew alongside the player.
