I've always loved the materia system from FF7. Keep the part where they can be equipped into items with slots available, and have drops occur after major events. Whenever a trigger event happens, you roll a die to see what sort of drop you get.

I think the lack of gifs/video is really hurting them there. I'm in a couple gamedev discords and once I mention that detail their interest usually vanishes.

I cannot stress this enough: The same people - THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE - who promised you that NFTs weren't just the future but they were *essential* to the future are currently promising you that "AI" isn't just the future but is *essential* to the future. This is the tech industry now.
