My first RPG maker 2003 experience, What the hell XP!!!!!! Options

[Lato]

Ok now anyone here that knows me knows that i'm a hardcore fan of XP, but feeling a bit bored I decided to try out 2003 once I FINALLY found download link. First off what the hell! RPG maker 2003 is AMAZING! I just used it for like 10 min did 1 battle and was so mad at myself for all those years and money I spent on XP!

Where to begin, the battle system really blew me away like crazy, the default you actually get to SEE you char! And they in such a cool anime/3D style! And there is like words with the status effects and real time is already built in?! IT comes with a world map too!

Why the hell did they make XP but not bring over all these bad ass options, we all had to wait for ppl to script them and thats just a pain. I already started editing new char and its just like doing icons cause they so small I love it! so much simpler then trying to work with xp sprites.

That being said im switching my time now to 2003, ill still be working with xp but only when I get bored.

PS. And they have face graphics!!! Grr I wanna kick the ppl that made XP in the balls now!

Have always been a rm2k3 fan from the very beginning when I first found out about the programs. Started to play around with the options and different things that can be done within the program and felt like it was one of the greatest game making engines available for RPG maker games.

Moved onto XP trial and didn't really seem all that fussed about it, couldn't find half of the options I used to use and the only decent thing good about it was the graphics you were given in the RTP.
Finally, I went to test out VX but at the time didn't have an internet connection (meaning I couldn't install it.) So left it at that and have since still always gone back to 2003

Im editing the RTP now to make my char and I gotta say just looking at the battlers alone I see that 2003 was made with a LOT more love then XP, the detail the options is just so much better. The only thing I see so far that is kinda bad is that I cant preview any of the res in the editor, in xp you can preview all rez, but im just guessing in 2003, I have to export it to look at it.
