RPG MAKER MV PREORDER PAGE IS LIVE!

[Vox Novus]

Unless there is breasts I don't think so, maybe he has some slight effeminate features but that is just common in general in this japanese style. If he was intended to be female they wouldn't have named him Hayatemaru. Hayate is a male name and maru is a common additive for boys names. I think we can move on from this subject now, let it go dude...

 

[Sharm]

While that's true of the RTP heroes, Hayatemaru isn't one.  He's a cover hero, drawn to look interesting and evoke story ideas, not with any ideals of balance and what would be best/easiest to use.  The sexes are often depicted unevenly for the cover heroes and Japanese heroes are often effeminate. It's not a big deal though.  If you want to make a game where he's female go right ahead.  Just be prepared to get a lot of well intentioned messages informing you otherwise.

I can have more than one MV open at a time. I'm using the Steam version.

 

[Galenmereth]

I can have many instances of all the makers open at once, all launched from Steam. MV included. I cannot have it open on my desktop PC and then launch it on my MacBook without closing it on my desktop PC first (or vise versa) but that's the standard Steam DRM system.

 

[MprisM]

Well I thank you all for your considerations. Although I have many more points to make regarding this issue I will refrain from doing so, as it will be an exercise in futility. The majority seems to be strongly against the notion of Hayatemaru being a female, and as the extreme minority in this case, I will accept your offer and stand down.

I will indeed be using her in my game as a respectable female character who can blur the preconceived notions of gender, as I think it's a valid theme for this character and society as a whole. Much along the lines of Naoto from Persona 4, Mulan, or Akatsuki from Log Horizon.

Good luck to you all on release, and happy RPG making!

 

[Makio-Kuta]

Hey MprisM! I for one think using Hayatemaru as a female character sounds pretty awesome, actually. Follow your dreams o3o~~* because who DOESN'T want awesome blue wolf ladies in video games?

 

[BloodletterQ]

Just pretend Hayatemaru is pretending to be male the same way you can pretend Dilara is actually a pervy mage who decided to put a spell on himself to become a woman or got turned into a woman as a punishment. They're sample characters we can use and they don't have determinable personalities besides what we see. Anyway, the NRA is kind of a good thing for those who pre-ordered and want to see everything for themselves.

 

[EternalShadow]

Just sayin', not all females have to have breasts on show. (Looking at you, Japanese anime and manga )

 

[Crazetex]

I have a very important question:

Is there a mouse or rat enemy in the default assets?

Thats ...actually a pretty cool idea! Imma use that, if you dont mind.

And not all don't...

Shame on attractive woman? Shame on me for liking attractive woman?

Also, I see unrealistic men in entertainment geared for woman all the time.

Yay for double standards I guess?

 

[Shaz]

*cough* Off Topic!

Well....actually, i was just gonna treat Hayatemaru like the bad ass anthropomorphic ninja wolf....he...she....it.....was obviously intended to be!

EDIT: @ Shaz: Indeed....sorry. Moving on... *whistles*

Just to be clear, that wasn't what I was saying! 0_0

In Japanese anime and manga and games, pretty much all the females in some of them have their chests revealed in some fashion or other - often with large breasts to match! 

But since not ALL women are really like this (large-chested) and some actually have small breasts, it is totally fine to insinuate that wolf character is actually a female since their chest is coincidentally(?) covered by that chestguard anyway, so could pass for either gender.

In any case, a tiny bit off topic here I guess...

Do give credit where credit is due dearie.

I have a very important question:

What is an RPG without a giant rat? The 20 minute preview shows there is indeed a rat included.

Praise Alex! Hail Aluxes! Glory be to Ralph!

From Epic Monster Dungeon Explore! 2 to Subterranean Starfield, there must be Mousies. It's just not a game if there aren't Mousies.

 

[Fernyfer775]

Question! Will the battle formulas work the same way they do now in VX ACE, where you could do a "script call" within the formula for limitless ability possibilities?

 

[ShinGamix]

Unfortunately, the very few people who could answer your question are still under NDA. That's why the pinned thread says you can ask, but don't expect to get an answer

Crap. Well that's one of the last questions I have holding me up from purchasing MV now.

 

[Jennestia]

does anyone know if in MV could i adjust the tempo and pitch separately in the sound options ??? I didnt read the pinned topic in the support forum like a dummy. (I was uber excited). This is one of my most wanted features in a new RPGM.

Either way though, you can just do it yourself in a music program and granted they didn't step backwards, it'll work just fine like it does in Ace. Since I use dynamic music personally I had to do a lot of external editing on my own customizations anyway. So between now and MV, try messing with music programs like audacity with some songs (if it lets you use .ogg format in the maker.)

 

[Touchfuzzy]

They didn't change the way pitch/tempo was handled. If you really need to change them independently, you are really better off preprocessing them with another program before you use them anyway... This actually applies to any changes you make, even if you still just want to do a rough speed increase/tempo up like you can do in the editor itself.
