Well, don't forget to have a good story too. Systems are one thing, but a good story and immersion into the story is a main factor. Gotta have it so the player is actually interested and cares about them.

Yep, I'm a scripter. But that's a tool to give your game extra effects and features to aid in telling the story. I've seen games with RPGMaker 2000 that had good story content (and even 20+ hours gameplay). So be wary of the scriptaholic trap.
