RPG Maker Forums

Hello all, I am new to RPG Maker and just recently started tinkering with a friends VX Ace. I have been modding/making mods for other games for a while so this immediately spurred my interest as something that could take up vast quantities of my time, so here I am starting my adventure. What I would like to ask your opinion(s) on is... Should I purchase VX Ace or the new MV? I really like the years of community work that has gone into VX Ace, even though I haven't yet looked over all the content thoroughly I have seen some of the games created using the custom scripts and it looks great. I am hearing some bad things about MV and being new it will take a year or two (most likely) for the community to really bring out its potential. I imagine none of the scripts for VX Ace will work on the new MV so I have to ask... If I am looking to start making games, which version do you guys recommend?

I am leaning toward VX Ace at the moment and maybe waiting a year to see how MV comes along?

There is just one other thing, with VX Ace... My modders instinct is telling me that there is most likely a series of good scripts that all have high interoperability that many people prefer. I know I am just starting out and maybe getting ahead of myself but does anyone have any tips on what scripts to look out for? I noticed the Luna Engine right away and the animated battlers/monsters scripts, I know its largely a matter of tastes but I am just curious what some of the veterans here use.

Thanks ahead of time for any advice and I look forward to seeing more of what has been done and can be done with this program.
