In my opinion, I think that gamers who wants to make new games are trying to make some that doesn't look like a game that already exist. But it's tough! Every idea we make look so much like an other idea from a popular game!

So, if we decide to make an RPG, instead though the gameplay and everything is important, we can REALLY try to make the story different from everything else, because that is what will make OUR game different from everyone else's.

There's barely such a thing as an 'original story', because everything has been done already in some shape or form. What matters most is how it's presented. People kept comparing avatar to Pocahontas and that being the only reason 'it sucks', never mentioning a thing about its execution.
I think that (next to gameplay) how a story is told is better than its originality. :v I found FFX's initial story a little similar to the one in Digimon world 2, but FFX's story was told so well I just didnt really care and loved it regardless. But... that's just my example.
