[Wiimeiser]

Where can I get a full copy of this?

[Countdown]

Where can I get a full copy of this?

Wait until it comes out in the US and buy it, of course.

[Nessiah]

Mid February is the estimation.

[modern algebra]

Release date for the English RMVXA is March 15, 2012. The price is exorbitantly high at $90, but apparently you will get a discount if you have already bought a copy of RMVX, a discount if you pre-order, and a discount if you participated in the competitions to win an advance copy; I don't know if those combine or not.

Also if you entered in the "Lets make a scene!" contest you get another 20 or 25 percent off, so I'll probably buy it.

[pacdiggity]

Why so high? ._.

[DoctorTodd]

I'm not high -_-
EDIT: Now I see why you said that, I seemed to pay no attention to the last part of MA's post 

[EvilM00s]

Hmmm, I dunno. I'm pretty comfortable with VX, but there ARE some really nice features in VXA. $90 is pretty salty- although I didn't read what the discounts for pre-order and owning VX will be. If that knocks it down to $60 I might do it.

[Esmeralda]

$90 is absolutely absurd, how they think to justify that price when XP and VX were cheaper and this is, more or less, a far improved VX is beyond me. Of course, sure they give a discount to VX owners but that seems like an excuse they came up with to sell this for a higher price. The worst part is that I'd probably pay $90 for this if I were still interested in making games as this is by far the best maker up to this date in my opinion... the price would be justified better if this were the first english maker to be released.

[LoganF]

That is a little pricey at just under £60. I can't imagine the pre-order discount being enough to make it worthwhile still, but we'll see. At least it isn't as expensive as the Japanese retail version which comes out at over £100/$160.

I'll probably save up for it a little at a time. It's a nice platform and RGSS3 is much better to work with.

[modern algebra]

It looks like the pre-order discount will only be $14.99, so the price will still be $75: http://preorder.rpgmakerweb.com/ace/

I haven't heard anything about a discount for people who already own RMVX, so that might be a false rumour.

Just a "gentle" reminder:

[yuyu!]

YEZS!!! FINALLY!!! >:c

[Esmeralda]

The official translation is second to the fan-made one

[Zylos]

Is kemomonimi intentionally left in, or something that forgot to be translated?

[TDS]

Apparently they felt on the Japanese side that "kemomonimi" was a well known term and did not need changing.

[modern algebra]

I split the Wiimeiser problem from this thread. It is now here.

I use that download and most of the text is still in japanese, has anyone gotten this issue?

Tooltips, script comments, default text...

[modern algebra]

No, mine was fine. However, if you are loading a game you made in the old Japanese version, then all of the Database terms will be in Japanese. But new projects should all be in English.

[tSwitch]

Reinstalling it worked.

[yuyu!]

Hrrrm... well, just in case anyone needs this for any reason, anyways...

There's a database translation here (post #7).

[Wiimeiser]

There is one untranslated "Cast a spell" text for one of the holy light spells, "rat" is spelled as "rate" and shock apparently deals ice damage...

[yuyu!]

Ahhh, didn't see that. I noticed that "level" was "dagger" on mine, though. o.0

Ahhh, well. Just minor things, I think.
