The absolute best (complete) rpg maker games

[Rezzo5150]

I hate how there are so many gamers that won't give a game a shot when they discover it was made using RPG maker.

I've only encountered a few games that were so good I could not put them down, and even played an RPGmaker DragonBall game that is by far better than any official DBZ RPG made, better than the SNES one , better than the NES card based fighting system ones.

Dragon Ball Legend of Z
, so far my favorite RPG made in RPG maker. 5 years in the making and the finished product shows. Great pacing, balance, writing, graphics, battle system, length, it's the entire Z saga and GT and maybe further.

Last Scenario

Another amazing RPG maker game.

I am not well versed in the RPGMAKER universe, please recommend me more completed games that are amazing and original. I know DBZ stole a lot of graphics from other games but they were obscure sprites that probably would not have been seen otherwise

OFF is a surreal and somber experience. It's not anything special gameplay wise, but story, music, and atmosphere wise it just excels. It'll probably get one thinking, if nothing else.

Its fan sequel/official followup/something HOME is just as good. Plus it's more interesting gameplay wise than OFF is.

A look through the Completed Games section here on the forums will probably have something that tickles your fancy. I can highly recommend RTP and Eternal Twilight, at least.

A game developer YouTube site posted 2 videos in the last year summing up 15 of the "top" RPG Maker games on Steam. Aside from titles already mentioned in this thread, they included:

Finding Paradise
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass
Doom & Destiny
OneShot
Rakuen
Monster Garden
Yume Nikki
Pocket Mirror
Last Dream
Corpse Party

I have played none of these personally, so I can't vouch. I'm just sharing relevant information I've encountered.
