Question on MV's Season Pass.

[Mako]

So... my question is has everything released so far ported over from RPG Maker 2000? They say "remixed" what does that mean exactly? How much original content do I receive as of today? I am under the impression they can't talk about future releases for whatever reason, but if someone could just clarify what has been released thus far that be great.

So far has been: #1 some music and sound effects, and #2 a character pack with 16 characters (all humanoid) including complete graphics for walking, damaged, animated SV battlers, and facesets. #3 is supposed to be tiles and I think people are anticipating (guessing! not confirmed...) a ship and/or airship. #4 is unknown so far.

Am I to understand that this content has never seen the light of day before? Some are saying its pre-order content others are saying its from 2000, both of which I have.

Pre-order content? I don't think so... That was something completely different. (Cover Art characters and Essential Set)


The music is basically the same, I guess. I'm not a big music buff so I don't know. Maybe a different format or better looping or cleaned up or something? I don't know.


The characters are based on the old characters, but remade in the MV style to fit into MV games. If you stick the old characters into a game in their old RM2000 format they'll look totally wrong alongside MV characters.


There's a preview of some of them here:

A few of the characters were partially released in the free Wednesday updates, but mostly just a few walking sprites. The characters in the DLC pack are complete with TV, TVD, SV, and facesets.

@Mako some people on steam confused the season pass with the wednesday freebies that were starting at the same time as the season pass was placed. That's where some of the early reviews (which were written before the first part was available) come from.


And it is a preorder in its own, because you could purchase it before the content was available - but that has nothing to do with the RMMV preorder and its bonus.


So yes, everything in the season pass is new and not available anywhere else.

This is the answer I was looking for thank you.
