I recently acquired both RPG Maker VX Ace and RPG Maker XP for very cheap and was thinking about making an RPG (I had already planned to do an RPG in 3D but once I got RPG Maker I realized it would be easier to budget my time successfully with it.)
I'm going to school for a bachelors of computer science (with a minor in animation) and am considering on focusing my efforts on video games. I haven't fully decided yet but they have been such a strong pressence in my life it just seems to click.
I actually had a question but I wasn't sure where to ask it so I'll ask it here:
I haven't decided whether I want to use VX Ace or XP yet. I can program (in Java, Python and C++ but I'm sure I can learn Ruby). My question is, if I want to make a combat system kind of like a tactics game (Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem) which of the two engines would be better suited?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Actually being pointed to a general XV Ace vs XP thread would probably be the most helpful. Been trying to find one but so far no luck.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
