Since this topic has been necro'ed I will just jump into the conversation
Here are my most favorite RPG Maker Games, in descending order of course:
Master of the Wind: The reason I started RPG Maker again, and one huge of an inspiration for me. Great storyline, awesome dialogues, and most importantly superb gameplay. I've played many other RPG Maker games, but none has ever come close to the standard of Master of the Wind.
Though I must say, Master of the Wind isn't the best example when it comes to good mapping, but even a visual person as I am, I'm willing to look pass it because of its other qualities.
Memento Vivere (along with any other Rye's game xD): She's one of the most creative mappers I've seen and her stories are also very intriguing and unique :3 She always has a very nice atmosphere in her games, which also adds up a lot. Memento Vivere is also the one game that has been cancelled for years and I still keep the demo for nostagia and inspiration's sake
Other games which also deserve mention, they are in no particular order:
Cast Aside (along with any others Anamei games): Seriously, I can enjoy any Anamei games you throw at me
Twice Upon a Hero: Love the atmosphere, love it :3
Ethereal Dream: Another dead project
But it was fun nevertheless
Sacred Earth: Skie and her insane games
And my masochistic self for always go for her Unknown mode >_<
Order of the Marten: No demo yet, but looks very yummy so far. Definitely in the better tier of the recent VX projects I've seen around.
