There are actually a lot of RPG Maker games that look better than this Final Fantasy 5 version. Certain RPG Maker versions were better than others though. I think the XP version is the one that has quite a bit of variety for graphics.
i used "rpg maker XP" for many years, and the issue with that program is the bigger your project grew... the more issues you had
with scripts not working, bugs happening etc.. i worked on my own project for like 5 odd years, on and off, and it was growing into
a great game until problems stared to happen cos the game size was huge.. bugs happened that caused the game to NOT load,
among other problems.. I started that project again back last year after buying "RPG maker XP" AGAIN on steam as it was on sale
for really cheap so I thought well lets see if they have stuff sorted in THIS release and low and behold.. I did not even get 1/4 a way to
the size of my original project and bugs and issues started happening again...
I was THAT dedicated on my original project that I had even had a professional musician make tracks for me that I payed for.. I believe
it was 22/23 tracks in total to the point at where I was in making the original game... which if i remember correctly i payed like $30 for 5 tracks at a time that we both collaborated on in terms of what type of music i wanted, adding little things into certain parts of the songs she had created for me.. etc.. she was a very talented musician.
Eventually I gave up cos of ALL the issues cropping up all the time and restarting the project 3 times... I strangely find myself looking at OTHER game maker programs often, gutted on the fact of all the time wasted, BUT i just do not know if I could put myself through all that again and the same thing happens, I still have all those tracks i payed for also.. didn't give them away or sell them.
Here's my original project thread...
http://www.yolkfolk.com/bb/showthread.p ... ESS-THREADI believe there's a demo there also that you can still download..
http://www.yolkfolk.com/site/games.php?game_id=195 My second attempt at the project seen better mapping as I switched to paralax mapping. I didnt start a new thread for the second attempt of making the game
and my mapping had improved like 500% lol in the second time around.
BUT... among all that junk i just typed, which was totally off topic, i agree tho that the tilesets were plenty with the fanbase and spriters of "RMXP".. some of the spriters were VERY talented.. and YES! the new FF5 Steam version DOES look like it's been made with an rpg maker program.. lol. Shortly AFTER giving up on the second attempt of remaking my project, i started my NEW project.. "Snes RPG Gaming"..
