Do you think for example you have to keep your character alive by eating foods from time to time? or Have lots or monsters to fight and or Levels? etc.. if you used the search option you'd see that vash_616 posted a similar post not to long ago :P

That's a (and I don't mean to be harsh) very vague question. It depends on what you mean. Rather than saying, "What do you think makes a game fun?", try something different. Everyone has different tastes, and it won't help you much to get ten thousand different opinions on an RPG. Try a yes or no question, for example: "Do you normally like having to eat food and do other tasks to keep your character in top shape? If not, why not? If so, why?"

This will help you MUCH more with designing your game. Ask about certain features that you are not sure about, and you will be able to get a more concrete response.

(PS. I hope you take this as constructive criticism, I didn't mean to sound harsh. If I did, I'm sorry)
