ITT: we channel our inner "ideas guy" and talk about

There has to be a way to make defensive options more varied in fighting games without making them overpowered

On the top of my head, I'd want a pc game that has a similar play style to Destiny.
Higher ranking enemies have three types of shields, fire, electric, and plasma. You have varying weapons that deal a single type of damage. Each effective to the enemy types
You have have three weapon slots, primary, ie. handgun and assualt rifles. Secondary, ie. Shotguns and sniper rifles. and Heavy weapons ie. Rocket launchers ect.
You can customize your characters armor, make him faster or more healthy or more damaging. But enemies also deal certain damage types that can make it more effective against you.

I want to do what you ask but somehow I feel like I should be going to bed instead.

Continued: All characters have some form of boosting abilities, thrusters that can make you strafe left or right or you can run and slide.
Game focuses on one planet. It can be any planet really, but has varying environments. If buildings are present you can enter to explore any one, no locked doors.
Vehicles are drivable, Enemies have their own type but you can hijack them Halo style.
Weapons and (certain armor or armor pieces) that drop from kills can be picked up and used

Some kind of game that captures the essence of what made City Trial in Kirby Air Ride fun.

Tactical Turn-Based Fantasy RPG.

Main plot would be about a small ground of people who, while traveling on a caravan to a major city, decide to band together and form a mercenary company to seek riches and glory. They then start taking jobs from various groups and people in the surrounding region and gradually become more successful, expanding their operations to other major citiestaking more and more dangerous and complex contracts. As they do so they travel around the world and hire dozens of unique other characters, each one with their own quirks and personality, while various other plotlines and events take place on the background. However, they never become major parts of big world-changing events, only getting involved at most with big but still local local conflicts. There would be a lot of focus on developing the lore and setting and exploring as many varied locations as possible.

Gameplay-wise, the main focus would be in proper tactics and using the environment to your advantage. The battlefields would be very interactive: you can take cover behind objects and terrain, destroy objects, move them around to give yourself a favorable position, combine elemental and environment effects to maximize damage against enemies.
Meanwhile you would have to funnel enemies into chokepoints, flank them from multiple sides, attack enemy casters to interrupt their spells while proctecting your own casters, put your ranged characters on higher ground, etc.
Characters would have a lots of different skills and spells, maybe including things like subclasses or learning abilities from other characters in the company. There could also be elements of management and base-building with expanding the headquarters of you mercenary company, and Fire Emblem style relationships between characters.

Bug fighting game based on those bug threads that keep popping up.

Fight as iconic bugs/insects/arachnids like the Emperor Scorpion or Hercules Beetle. Matches are fast and can be ended in a single combo, reflecting the brutality of nature. Characters all play similarly to their natural counterparts. For example, a beetle focuses on knocking its opponent out of the ring while a scorpion attempts to grab and impale its enemy.
