Well one of the obvious complications would be AI


I wouldn't know anything about that. What's different with the AI in a SNES FF or Earthbound type game against a Fire Emblem/FFT game?


For one you have to code in pathfinding. For games that only have a single character like most shooters, that's not that hard. You just give the path to the player. The games with multiple characters, you have to determine who is the target first, and then find a path. The closest Target isn't always the best option either. Then you also got to deal with ranges of abilities.

RPG Maker is designed to make generic Dragon Quest clones. Not other stuff. It can be do other stuff but only with so much effort you've completely lost any "easy" advantages of the engine.

Yeah, I'll revise my previous response to you and just say that Game Maker is a better bet.

There will be many more game states for enemies to consider. You can still make fairly simple agents, but in FF they will typically have a completely scripted/random behavior with some HP breakpoints mixed in. Like, what you can do with Gambits in FF XII is a lot more sophisticated than what you'll usually find in an RPG. Add a grid with tons and tons of different ways you could position your troops and there will be so much more to take into account for an enemy. My hunch is that the structure for describing such a game state to an agent isn't available in RPGMaker, so you would need to make it yourself, even if you want deadass simple AIs that just attack anything in range.
Add to that the logistics of moving around. A game maker should have stuff like pathfinding implemented, but I'm not at all sure at what level of control it's accessible to the developer. And you will need pathfinding if you want stuff to move.

Just separate the actress from the person. Her politics make her annoying in real life but she is a damn good actress.

Her politics like being a mother who sympathizes with parents losing their kids on the border? Out of Hollywood people with a political message, hers is one of the more genuine ones imo, whether you like Trump or not.

Also great show, watch out for spoilers

Nothing is easy when it comes to game development.


Isn't RPG Maker easy to use? I was told it was pretty simple to use, it's not codes or anything. Seems like it would be easy to make an SNES Style Final Fantasy Game (side vs side) or a Earthbound/Mystic Quest style game (top vs bottom) so why would it be hard to make a grid game like Fire Emblem or FFT?

Well one of the obvious complications would be AI

that sounds awfully similar to far-right to me

Idk if Antifar agrees but far-right to me sounds a bit fuzzier. Like, is it extreme conservatism, fiscally, socially, or nah? Is it libertarianism? If it's far, where is the center? Alt-right is something white nationalists coined, far right is a term usually used by people far to the left of the perceived far right.

Feel free to back up your definition(s) with actual sources. Until then, I'll assume you're merely pulling a UR

I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that someone who is so ostensibly into pesticides practicing science as you are would fall back on a dictionary definition. Masculinity is quite a well explored concept, and you should be well aware that words can refer to different, or less/more specific things depending on the context. When you're just dumping a dictionary definition and using it as some sort of absolute truth, you're almost on Mal_Fet levels of intellectual dishonesty.
