If you're trying to decide which RPG Maker to get, it's this one. It will always be this one.

Pros:
- Wildly easy to use.
- Fantastic animation system.
- Tons of community made plugins/scripts.
- Very lightweight, the biggest RPG Maker game I've ever seen was 200mb.
- Good tile set system, supports auto-tile *and* animated tiles.
- Moves, status effects, and Items work on enemies the same as party members.
- Has MP and TP with fully fledged options for both.
- Mod other RPG Maker games.

Cons:
- No widescreen without plugins
- Can't export to anything but Windows. (Understandable.)
- Some restrictions on how certain items/eqiupment work.
- Sometimes you might need basic scripts for simple things.

My recommendation is that you wait for a sale, most people don't buy it for $70 USD. Either way, this is a fantastic "game maker" for anyone who wants to make their first game or someone who really likes RPGs.
