Don't mind me I'm just putting the Fan-Ball RPG idea shit that however unlikely to ever come into fruition, I want to record instead of have bumbling about inside only my brain.
Battle Format Idea: Typical RPG battle format, but with action-commandy aspect for dodging, countering, and executing, most exemplary thing I can think of is the Mario & Luigi series of games.
Game Progression Idea: Have a typical storyline for playthrough, but special offshoot lines for completing certain challenges, making certain decisions, etc. Perhaps even two "main" alternate storylines, where the player sides more with demonic aligned characters or angelic/god trio aligned characters.
Each character's arc starts with them being alone, then eventually meeting up with other playable characters to form parties, which then have their own arcs and eventually form into more parties, until ultimately at the endgame your party is complete. Along the way these parties may split into separate ones different from their initial composition and go their separate ways depending on choices or plot necessity.
Boss Mechanic Idea: Some major boss characters may have a certain special way in which you can complete their battle that will unlock a special event, storyline, area, etc. This will be hinted at during their initial monologue or in some other way. It would also try to be fitting to thm, such as a hasty character's battle challenge being to defeat them in a certain number of turns, or something like that.
