Imagine if Team Ninja created a tactical RPG on 3DS with the DOA roster, à la Fire Emblem.
The triangular system would still be here of course : Strikes > Throws > Holds >
And we would have stats like these : HP, Strikes, Throws, Holds, Speed (for evasion) and Technic (for critics). All the 30-ish characters would have unique stats of course, but they would be split in 7 Basic Classes which can be upgraded (with objects or events) for a total of 16 Pro Classes :

This was the story and the concept I had in mind :
Let's say your starts with Kasumi. For some reason, she has to travel around the world to destroy Phase 4. On her way to MIST's labs (final stage), she meets several fighters with different stories, fight some of them before eventually recruiting them all in order to destroy MIST's army (mainly soldiers, big fighters and demons, and Ayane, Helena, Christie, Rig, Lisa during some stages), led my Victor Donovan.
The characters can learn multiples attacks based on iconic moves from DOA5 (instead of weapons in Fire Emblem). For instance, Bass will learn (or buy) Bass Bottom, Bass Bomb, Oklahoma Stampede... which are effective against a MIST soldier with a good defense. On the other hand, Lei Fang, who performs sabakis, OH and holds such as Sho-Kinda or Takuchu-Ken-Ko will be less effective against let's say.. grappler demons.
Each characters would have 2 costumes (which appears in dialogues/cutscenes) : one for their basic class, one for their pro class. Example : basic Brad, pro Brad... Some character have rare costumes (Mr. Strong, Opera Dress for Helena, etc.) which give them special boosts.
Characters would have special dialogues and bonuses during the fights based on their relations (ex : Tina/Bass). Two characters can join the same square and perform a Tag Move (based on DOA5U's tag moves) if they are compatible.
Some bonus characters would be optional in order to finish the story, but still playable under special conditions : Miyako (Geisha), Niki (Billionaire), Shiden (Super Ninja), Rio (can be anything), Nyotengu (Heavenly Dog), Hitomi's father (Combattant), Ein (Combattant), Chen (Evasive Troll), Lei Fang's rapist (Mind Gamer), etc...
