I've edited the store page description so it now starts:
"Atonal Dreams is an RPG reminiscent of old-school console JRPGs: you roam around a field and through dungeons looting treasure chests, talking to NPCs, and engaging in (non-random) turn-based battles that pit your team against hordes of monsters. Grow your characters by masterfully using musical magic to alter modifiers, build combos, and either destroy your foes or convert them to your side. The game is heavily story- and lore-rich, featuring an often-silly cast of characters who each have hidden depths that are gradually revealed."
I wasn't sure whether to mention inspirations like Final Fantasy by name; I don't think other games do that, but I'm not sure.
This is rough and needs cleanup, but what I'm going to do is wait until some people have alpha tested first, then I'll talk with them about what it'd be best to focus on in the description. I'll also check some other store pages to see what they've done.
By collaborating I was thinking more with fans/players than with other devs, since I can imagine those getting enjoyment from their ideas being included at all, while other devs might be more insistent that their ideas are the best or something!
