Things that you will NEVER include in your game, or hope to never see in another's.

Mine would be Random Encounters definitely, unless I want to go nostalgic-ish. But even so :/
Also unskippable cutscenes, I always provide a "skip scene" at the beginning before the scene starts so the player who watched it before can just skip right through it. Useless status effects are definitely on my list, I don't like it when there's 223421412 status effects when they provide little to the gameplay :|
One other thing is that...Main character death = game over, I guess it depends, personally I liked this about p4 haha, it made me more cautious and at least I'm controlling everyone, UNLIKE PERSONA 3 with MARIN FUCKING KARIN.
And...ALMIGHTY SPELLS. I don't like it when you made the perfect party members and suddenly the game cheats the difficulty by adding those, UNBLOCKABLE BUT NO WEAKNESS OR STR BUT SPAM ALMIGHTY SPELLS IS ANNOYYYIINNNGG.
Also puzzles, as much as possible, I don't want them in my games, I hate them but this is opinion related, as long as they're not in the main story and just solely in minigames, I don't really mind. Most of the time, I'm one of those GOGOGOGO people.
Basically, typical list :p
