RPG Maker Forums

Hey everyone, I am currently working out some of the aspects of my game, and recently came to the decision of whether or not to implement a minimap system in it. I've been going back and forth on this from a gameplay perspective (I already have a working plugin, so the technical side isn't an issue) and wanted to source some opinions.

Do you like having access to minimaps in RPGs?
How useful do you find having a minimap?
Do minimaps sometimes seem invasive?
Do minimaps sometimes make the game too 'easy' or take away from exploration?
When games require you to 'find' maps in order to unlock a minimap or full minimap (like in Final Fantasy XII and the like), do you feel compelled to actually seek out the maps/items?

Any other general discussion on your thoughts towards them are appreciated! :)

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.
