Guardian Legend, but with Zelda-style puzzles in the overworld sections and Metroidvania progression mechanics.

So shmup / action/adventure / search-action hybrid I guess.

A isometric soulslike-roguelike: think Vampire Survivors/Halls of Torment with Dark Souls Mobs and Bosses with Dark Souls maps and boss arenas overall theme and Music. Gear system from halls of Torment with Dark Souls iconic weapons and an RPG stat leveling system with Souls so that deviates from existing Random Card style approaches (no need for sudo gacha). Vendors found in various stages which have secret areas and mimic chests as well as gates to open to access boss arenas (these stay open on successive attempts (optional) so their is progression if you want). Would also need Blocking that interrupts auto attack and a parry system accessible depending on your equipment e.g. parry knife in one hand or shield equipped. Option to leave a stage at the cost of half your Souls (or all or lose equipment not sure which is the best option). Vast hordes of mobs to slay with traps and Lore which already exists in the universe to draw on.

GTA where you can create your own character

An bleach game where you can create your own zanpakuto and it’s abilities, before being assigned to a division of your choice, you fight through the main and side stories along side ichigo’s friends and the gotei 13, as you level up and meet new characters some of them would offer advice and some will train you, based on your gender you could have a relationship with canonical male/female characters who doesn’t already have a canonical relationship, and at the end of the thousand year blood war there are two outcomes i think i would write, outcome one your character dies trying to stop yhwach and the character who you are dating visits your character’s grave and reminisce before leaving after a while, the second outcome is that your character depending on your level of friendship with aizen worked with him as he didn’t show you kyoka suigetsu and you both help slow him down, in the end your character is majorly harmed and on the brink of death afterwards and isane was forced to put the character into a coma to recover completely but memory loss, might be in first person or third person, a lot of side quests for currency and missions to boost experience, your character can take the canonical character on small dates here and there when they are free, spending time with your zanpaktou spirit learning shikai and bankai, training with kido up to 99 with easier spells being easier and harder spells being harder to learn and master
