Just think outside of the box. Don't go to other games and take any original idea they've added to their game. Rip or not. Why don't you go back and read the manga, or watch the anime. Pay attention to the little details that you may have overlooked before. You'll be surprised what you may find. The majority of BYOND's DBZ/Bleach/Naruto games are all a rip of something. And most lack things that actually happened in the manga/anime.

My advice is go and play the Bleach RPG on DS, Bleach 3rd Phantom or something like that.

You'd never guess this, but it is a RPG, could work multiplayer, and has a story, and is not about log training!!!

You might not have known this, but Bleach is currently a 387 chapter long manga. And want to know how many of those focus on log training? 0 of them (maybe 10 or so focus on some form of training though)
In those chapters there is more than enough to make a game from. Tons of characters and locations to build a game on and around.

But what do Bleach games always end up as?
Punch a log, get stronger!!! Nothing else. Just get stronger because you need to be stronger to be strong.

In short. Don't make a game based on getting stronger.
Focus it on a storyline, or good gameplay elements.
Hell, the game might not even be a RPG. It could be a fighting game, no level progression at all. Pick a character, fight and beat enemies.
It has no story, but fighting games are fun!

But this is BYOND. Maybe you should give all players instand owner status and level 10 billion when they login.

Nonexistance. :)

Indeed. The nonexistence of Bleach games will definitely "keep me coming back."
To BYOND that is.
Also, please don't use a bunch of ŝρέ�‡��…�€ �‡ħ�…ŗǻ�‰�„�™ŗš crap as a name in a game... As you can plainly see, it looks retarded.
