Now that a (Japanese) Trial version of RMVX has been released, (See this link [We don't have one at RMVX.com ]: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/news/122007/1101.php), you should all have atleast checked it out, and played around see a few things. Now the focus question is what do you think of the new RMVX, from what you've seen, excluding the fact that this is a trial and is all in Japanese.

----

I have played around with it, and have also played with the Game (that came automaticly when I created my "Test" game), and I must say, from what I can see and understand, its very impressive. As expected, its got the features of RMXP, but the style of graphics from RM2K3 I managed to explore the world map (Anyone notice that is goes in circles, like a globe, and doesn't stop, unlike in previous versions!), and battle a few skeleton soldiers (Killed them with from I can understand as a "Explosion" Skill/Spell), and also took a ride on the Ship, and the Airballon! I must say it was all smooth, and I liked the new aminmations of battle, combined with the moving background!: The background really is making battles abit more interesting, even if its just for the look

The Map Editor, the only other thing which I really tried out, was easy, and kept simple It also was very orginzed! The only thing, which was pointed out by a good friend of own apart of this community, that now annoys me is that the 5 layers aren't what they seem to be: You only can put 1 layer on top of the Ground Layer, which really is abit odd...

Overall, I enjoyed playing around with it, and now hope that a English Trial is released early next year!

Discuss here the goods, the bads, and any other comments of the trial here, and give the rest of the community "Your Thoughs!"

Thanks All!

Keeping the dream alive!

(P.S I made this topic so we can keep the other one to what it was: A topic about RMVX events, not the trial )

I like the trial so far, but I hate having to increase my resolution so I can click the buttons at the bottom of the events.

Also if anyone looks at RPG RPG Revolutions translation of the restrictions for the trial this is what Number 9 means.



It just means that once RMVX is out and if a update is released for it you will not be able to apply the update to the trial.

Already released, gotta download it.

Man, are you for real?! This is awesome regardless of the absence of updates. This deserves a download.

Yeah, we can try our hand on things like mapping.

Thanks for the update. Along with this information, the article has been updated. Speaking of which, anybody want to write a small piece of writing on their experience with the trial version and PM them to me?

No problem.

In regards to writing a review, I haven't used RMVX enough to form an absolute opinion on it yet.

Eeep downloading now!

As if!

I so hope this is a bug! o_o Really, if I can't use more than one layer on top of the lowest one the fun is immediately spoiler for me... Now we can all go and abuse events for a third layer like in RM2k(3)...

Aside from that, I do want to try it out. >w<

Sadly enough I do not think its a bug.... Basically we have 2 layers. Ground and the whatever is above the ground.

If there is no way around this... or they dont fix it. To hell with VX I will stick with XP, because layers is a BIG part of the entire mapping proccess and needs to be there in order to make a good looking map.

Tonight I will download, now I need to remove some crap I have in my PC

Oh, and maybe this layer thing is because it is just a demo, an incomplete demo(I hope so )

Yes, the layer thing is very annoying. Asides from that, it's...okay. Obviously I can't judge if it's in Japanese as I can't use many event functions at all. The mapping process is quite awkward but I can imagine myself getting used to it after a while - I just hope the layer thing will get improved!

EDIT - the message box too, is both bad and good. Bad insofar that it no longer has the shortened box and you have to judge it by arrow, good that you can preview your messages much more easily than on XP. The check box that allows you to make the messages automatically wrap is good as well, better than the "batch text entry" options.
