Yes don't the buildings and pretty much everything come already made?

Edit: wow, I can't believe that you guys make use of filters for some stupid words like that!
It is a very friendly community.

About these RPG maker games. Do they all have the same battle system that Endless Nove used. The whole first person view with giant monsters and tiny heros. I fail to see how a hero 10 times smaller than the mosnster could kill it.

Yeah I had a look at the screen shots. And am now downloading a game called Naufragar: Crimson. Do you know if this game is as good as is suggested, and if there are any you recommend, from either of those three I don't mind.

Yeah that's the site where I found this Naufrager: Crimson. It's got a lot of good looking games, and I'll have a look at all those others you mentioned. Thanks for all that. k:

Wow, it is very, very rare that I delete a game part-way through it because it is such a waste of time, and even more rare that I actually bother to register on a forum to comment on it, but a 5/5 review for THIS?

Even if I ignore the atrocious spelling and grammar, this game just fails at life. Let's see:

Gameplay: Nothing particularly innovative. The "absorbing spells" system is more of an annoyance than an innovation, and the "skills instead of experience" system is not implemented particularly well and forces you to walk around fighting endless battles so that you can use up your HP or MP and raise stats. The battle system isn't any different from every other generic turn-based RPG. The mini-games are dull, and if you want to get any kind of reward you would have to waste hours and hours on them (try collecting enough tickets or trade items in a reasonable amount of time). Walking through the overworld map is unnecessarily slow and irritating.

Graphics: Nothing remarkable whatsoever. Granted, this was made using RPGMaker, but that doesn't make it commendable.

Music: Mostly remixed versions of songs from other games.

Plot: Your typical dull "save the universe from evil" plot. Except it's set in space, which, for some reason, seems to be making a lot of people say "OMGWTFBBQ ITS IN SPACE!!111!!!11one". The characters are stereotypical, boring, and unlikeable. And some of them don't even make sense. "I'm a man trapped in a doll, and magic might turn me back, so let me follow you around and help save the world"? What bad crack was the writer smoking when he thought that one up? The "bad guys" are your typical "evil for no real reason" villains. Two nations were going to make peace, and so the provoker now wants revenge on all life? And of course we can't forget the typical evil god who wants to destroy all of reality.

I'll admit that some of the more recent FF games had their share of cookie-cutter protagonists and antagonists and stereotypical plots, but they were still better than this drivel. I wish I were as easily amused as you lot.

It seems this game isn't as great as Tom thought.

From what I've seen, an experianced RPG Maker vet could make something like this. The author did not draw all the graphics as the review said, most of them are standard RTP or edited. RPG Maker games, to people who've never seen RPG Maker always seem to blow people away. But I've seen many an RPG Maker Game, and I have 2000, 2003 and XP on my computer. The story was ok though. The author should remake this in XP with the scripting engine and original graphics, not ones ripped from First Seed Material.
