Heya! It's me again! I just keep popping in and out, don't I? :-\

Anywys, I'm thinking about making a personal project with one of the later RPG Makers, but there's a problem. I'm thinking about either using VX or VXA. The thing is I can't decide which one to go for.

I heard that VXA is superior, but also has problems. Now, I can't say what the problems are 'cause I haven't experienced them yet. I'm playing around with the free trial.

I also heard that VX is more common and that a lot of users are using it. Should I jump on the band wagon?

Which one do you think I should get?

If this is the wrong section to post this, can you please move this topic?

I've used both VX & VXA a ton, and I most certainly prefer VXA, due especially to the tilesets system, as well as a lot of the newer eventing options. :)

The only problem I can think of with VXA is that there are less scripts for it (though a great many scripts have already been created, so that's not really a problem so much anymore). Overall, the Ace system is much more rewarding for game making.

That's just my opinion. :P

Really, once the scripters catch up, the only thing VX will have going for it is the RTP. Ace surpasses it in every single way, except possibly the pictures bug.

I see.

It does seem like good idea to go with VXA. I'm well aware that it's a bit more expensive than VX, but I might think it would be money well spent if I buy it.

I'm gonna wait awhile longer to see other people's opinions before I officially decide to buy it.

That does seem like a problem. I would like to display certain pictures, though.

I forget what exactly the pictures bug does, but I have heard of it. :o

I'm not entirely sure, but I think there's a script fix for that bug. ^^ I could be wrong, haha.

The pictures bug is pictures aren't cleared from memory when deleted so it causes permanent lag. There's a fix for it though. Check the scripts section.

There's really no reason to pick VX over ace aside from ace being pricier. Ace is better in pretty much every way.
