Edit: So while RPG Maker VX Ace is coming out, so apparently is RPG Maker Plus: It's a tiny blurb, but this is what it states: - coming from Enterbrain - create stories set in modern times - includes locations like schools - includes timelines during the Warring States or Sengoku era - also includes sci-fi universe, complete with probing table - combine all these elements together, if you like - due out Dec. Basically what it comes down to is if the cost is worth the upgrade, and so far there has been very limited information in regards to what changes (if any) have been made to the map editor. Also there's mention that it will be using RGSS3, another reason they had better address the tile limitation because if they stay with the same 5 tileset sheets, and implement new scripting options, chances are SwapXT would become void until it's been fixed. Some of the features that were mentioned were the inclusion of a sort of facemaker and sprite editor of sorts to change and alter sprites and faces, and a few adjustments to the database. Sure we have SwapXT, but that tends to get a bit exhausting at times. Even if they were to add an additional 5 sheets (for a total of 10, with 2 of them auto tiles) that'd be a heck of a lot better than what we have. While some of the features seem nice, to warrant such a high cost, they had better address the tileset limitation. Whether they actually lower that cost or not once it gets released in English is beyond me, but I have a feeling it's going to be high. From what I gathered on the RRR site, it's going to cost a lot more than what the VX now costs (and possibly more), at about $175 USD. Some notable changes, but still using the VX format. I think it will be more like when RM2K was upgraded to 2K3.

This is definitely what was wrong with VX. By performing actions in combat, the TP gauge increases, and then you can perform a Mortal Reversal! It enables such things." So uh, it looks like they added a character maker, Cover/Provoke, and supers. For example, with these improved functions, famous classic RPG commands like "Provoke" and "Cover" can be implemented." "Feature 3 - Interesting battle system addition 'Mortality System'" "In addition to the HP gauge and MP gauge, a new TP can be added. RPGmaker ACE is the latest RPGmaker product for Windows." "Feature 1 - Ability to create new characters, improved scripts" "By combining pictures and drawings, original character's 'chibi charasets' and 'facesets' can be created, in addition to many new features that aid in RPG production! And, for experts at the program, it is now easier to edit and extend RGSS scripts." "Feature 2 - Base program additions and improvements" "Various event commands and function options have been changed and improved. Original character graphics can be made just by combining parts, and functionality has been enhanced for game production. "The previous RPGmaker VX's event command system was improved with the addition and changing of some command options. In fact, more than one independent successful game like To The Moon has been created using this tool.Translating that second link. It has everything that is necessary for the creation of fantasy worlds and unique adventures. RPG Maker is one of the best tools for the creation of videogames that we can find at this moment.

So that it´s easier to start working with RPG Maker, it includes an example module that we can use as tutorial and thanks to which we will be able to learn nearly all its controls. The application already has lots of sprites, sounds, music and various illustrations with which we can work, although we will be able to import our own material to create a totally unique adventure.
