If anybody knows where I could buy the official version of RPG Maker 2003, that'd be nice.
I checked Enterbrain's English side, but no luck. Now, since I don't know Japanese, I know I won't really be able to use it, but I'd still like to see what it's like.
Also, on a related note, if people can no longer buy RPG Maker 2003, then maybe where I can buy the English translation of RPG Maker XP? I think there was an official English translation... Could be wrong on that, though.
Thanks for the help!
RPG Maker 2003 was never availiable in English besides illegal translation?
Why?
Because Enterbrain are a bunch of stingy bastards.
Screw Enterbrain.
P.S.
They started releasing RPG Maker for PC when RPG Maker Xp came out. But they probably only did that because they realized they could cash in on us.

Ehmmm... That's not really any help for me, now is it? xD I didn't ask what people thought of Enterbrain -- I asked where I could buy it. I can't even afford it right now, but I'd like to know where I can get it when I have enough money.
We don't know their reasoning behind not releasing an official English translation; it could be they figured that there was already a translation (although illegal), or they just wanted to focus on development of the newer versions with
could be released in English, or something else entirely (like what you said).
I did answer your question.
There is no way to buy it in english.
And I doubt you can buy the japanese version, with what all the updated versions of RPG Maker being released anyhow. If you could, it'd be on enterbrain's japanese site. Saying you can't understand Japanese would make it somewhat pointless anyhow.
And Enterbrain is full of a bunch of assholes.
We know why they decided to release the makers in english.
You can download it for free, though it's not an official English version, but it is in English.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
Why buy the original english version when you can easily get it :O?
Maybe because I don't want it go be illegal?
Anyways, thanks. I'll see if I can find the newer versions.
