I knew that RPG Maker 3 wasn't going to be very flexible, but I'm sure everyone's seen the event command list by now, that's what really bummed me out. Not only that, we can't even seem to make a decent cutscene. I'm still getting it though.

It is kind of annoying that the only cutscenes you can make is with the story teller system. Dramatic camera angles would be nice. Some of the videos do show dramatic angles so there is still some hope that there is a secret camera system that hasn't been found yet.
Valkysas seems to feel that this is a wonderful creative tool despite the limitations. You really have to play with the tools yourself to understand how great RPG Maker 3 is.
I already have an idea for a game using story teller to progress the story. I'll have to play around with the system a bit, but I think what I have in mind will work.

yeah, i'm still getting it, and i'm actually more psyched now than ever before. i simply cannot wait to begin the construction of Spirit Saga. the cutscene thing was a tough bump, but...valk says you can have up to three pictures of people at a time. that shouldnt be too bad. plus we can use characters as monsters, so we don't have to find a monster that resembles a character. setting traps in dungeons sounds intriguing, and i've already got a trap-loaded dungeon idea. so really, i just want it to be the 20th...! wait, no...i have an english project due on the 20th!!!!! why is it that whenever i'm looking forward to something on a specific day, i always get an assignment due that same day?! its as if god hates me...but i ramble. just 7 more days... *begins anxiously waiting* -the smurf

why is it that whenever I'm looking forward to something on a specific day, i always get an assignment due that same day?! its as if god hates me...but i ramble. just 7 more days.. Maybe God loves you. The assignment could be due the Monday after it comes out. This way it can keep you busy until it is out and you are then free to enjoy it. But o the topic at hand, I posted this at the pavilion in a thread comparing XP and 3, but it seems appropriate here: I have had a hard time with both Xp and 3 (only 2 dimensions and camera limitations in XP and the whole dearth of limitations in 3) but I will be buying 3 first because I view the question differently.
It is not so much which game I think is better, it is that I would rather support Agetec than Enterbrain (Enterbrain is not sharing the marketing of XP with Agetec). While I realize that we could never have RPFGMakers at all if not for Enterbrain, we would not have them in English if not for Agetec.
I plan on buying both eventually, but XP comes second for that reason alone.
RPGMaker 2 spoiled me. I know I'll get over it. Eventually. But I am not yet over it and probably Will not be over it until I have had both for a while and seen just what is possible.
But to answer your question...
3.
Peace.So there it is. Another way to help decide which to buy if you are still undecided. Peace.

Yeah, after what I did on RPGM2 I can't be happy with either 3 nor XP. I'll get 3, but after the price goes down. And, of course, with all the dumb shmucks out there I'm bound to get a good deal on ebay.

Yeah, I'm gunna hold off on this one. Wait and see what people have said. I already looked at some pages of the guide and you can't even multiply or divide numbers by normal means. Only add,subtract,overwrite. And who wants to make a called script for every multiplication and division they do? Although maybe I could make a cool game off of my book...idk we'll see, so far it's not looking good. But maybe if I see it in a store later for cheap I'll pick it up and add it to the collection.

Well it's the 21st and still no RPGM3!! I went to EB's today and they told me it was held back for another day(Probably due to UPS or something)..Still Today was my day off and I was looking forward to spending the day messing around with RPGM3.. Oh well I guess I'll have to sacrifice some sleep and girlfriend time...
