Reception in Youtube for the first trailer for RPG Maker Mz was 50/50 with likes and dislikes

[RPG_Maker_Wiz]

Nice to see features of RPG Maker MZ in Action. However in youtube comments the reception is mixed and many people show how they are bit concerned. What are your thoughts on the first trailer?


List of new changes made by TitanKaempfer
Well first of all obviously new assets but this was to expect.
0:15 - There is now a list for events on the map right above the list of maps. Seemingly you can somehow switch between this list and the tile set pieces. (maybe the events are shown when you are in event mode and the tileset is shown when drawing the map)
0:16 - The character editor now allows for repositioning generator parts. You'll use arrows to move them around and they're located next to the colors.
0:24 - The show message function has a new input field that is labeled with "Namae" (translating into Name, you can also see it in various database for the name field). It is not shown what it does, but it most likely will show a name when displaying the message box.
0:25 - There seems to be some kind of function to auto complete words/a dictionary.
0:32 - The battle animation tab is seemingly reworked a lot (at least from the order of stuff). It also seems like you can only use one graphic instead of two like you could before which actually would be an downgrade. (But maybe you still can mix them and they just pressed on those only having one graphic set and two would be listed liked "graphic set 1 + graphic set 2")

I think the Trailer would have been a decent Teaser that you could present next to your first announcement, but the fact that we waited 2 weeks annoys many people, inlcuding myself.

Also, the colors are too saturated, especially when I wanted to see the Mapping and new RTP Tilesets. The Tilesets consists entirely of the same assets then before, which also dissapointed me. Last but not least these weird angles of those screens makes it hard to follow whats happening, well unless you hit the pause button every second.

The features that were shown could just be some Patches for MV, I think the major features will be presented later.

In honesty this just looks like what VX ace did for VX but it's MV (if that makes any sense)

I'm not really seeing anything other than those minimal additions that makes me want to buy it, I am however in favor of the graphics they do look pretty nice for a RTP but again I wish they followed more of XP's visual direction- I hate Chubi fat headed chars.

I know this is still in the works and there is likely to be a heap ton more added but so far It's pretty lack luster for me. I just wish for future RPG Maker programs to take what made past ones unique like XP's tileset and vast OST, 2003's various 2D combat options etc etc. I really like MV's plugins which to me almost make having new software pointless to me.

The auto correct/dictionary and name box options is something I felt should of been done a long time ago. It's irritating having to put code for names and far too many RPG Maker games out there have terrible grammar, it's certainly needed!
