I’m putting together a team, Everything needed job

I'm looking to build a team of passionate artists, programmers, and designers to build a proof of concept that would be used to pitch to publishers and other forms of funding to work on a complete product. I'm not looking to build a complete product (playable start to end) as the whole vision requires more funding and backing than what I personally could afford right now.

The game is a 3D RPG inspired by the late 90's greats like FF7-9, Chrono Cross, XenoGears, Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden etc., with pre rendered backgrounds and character models similar to that of FF7: Ever Crisis:

Combat is still something I'm fleshing out that would really benefit from a group think tank and brainstorm session. I'm wanting to capture the fast paced team-fights that that rely heavily on teamwork and team-based abilities like in Overwatch (the first person shooter, I know, weird thing to reference but I'll fully explain what I mean to team members).

length of the project would roughly be a play time of 15-20 minutes (again, a proof of concept) that showcases an early game dungeon with 1-3 different combat encounters.

The setting is more modern day with future tech like the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but, in a setting similar to FF7.

This is unpaid. I really want this to be clear. Since this is unpaid there is zero time restraints/requirements, zero deadlines, no hard feelings of people joining and then leaving (there will be an NDA to sign though). I do want this to be a highly polished product though so I am looking for the best of the best. When completed it will be pitched to indie publishers, and if successful, contracts and terms will be created with team members wanting to stay on and continue development while compensation would be negotiated to those who would like to just keep the proof of concept as a portfolio piece.

I want to make the next Final Fantasy 7. I want to create a new world filled with wild characters that people fall in love with just like I did in the late 90's. I want people to feel like they are saying goodbye to friends when the credits roll. but a proof of concept is needed first.

So if any of this sounds interesting to you, and you're a passionate dev who would be willing to contribute to this project whenever they can with no pressure or deadlines with a potential of turning this in to a full fledged game with a full dev cycle, then send an email to thirtyfourrockets@gmail.com with a small introduction of yourself, your field of specialty(s), and a link to your portfolio that showcases your work.

I'm looking for everything. Music, artists, modelers, riggers the whole 9 realms. Programs and tools yet to be decided. Will choose this based on team discussion instead of forcing people to learn/use something they are not familiar with.
