I have to agree that turn based can be boring. Even though I still get a kick out of playing Dragon Warrior on the NES, when it comes down to it, that game is boring.. One character, one type of damage, ect.. it's just lacking.

I think the problem with most turn based games (and a lot of other games) is the lack of strategy and logical challenge. Selecting attack everytime and using a potion when your life is low is not very exciting.. But by adding in some of the additional elements such as different classes and skills that excell in specific situations, and other things along those lines makes the game more complicated, and thus less boring because you're constantly creating new strategies and changing them as you progress. I'll do what I can to capture this.

I'm trying to keep most sounds/enemies the same and push them as far as I can, but I'm not bringing in anything new along those lines..(keep in mind this is a skeleton of sort for other people to use) I am definitely hoping to bring some of the strategical elements into play though.
