Help with new game, I need some things in my game Options

[JayD2]

So I have decided to use VX Ace, but before I go out and get this I need to be sure that I can do these things and if they are readily available to me.

First I need a different battle system. The top down, horizon battle system is dumb and I need anything else. My stipulations are that I can add my characters; the ones that I made using Ace. I also need to be able to make a enemy that looks like a human or is a human because that is my villain.

Second I need a crafting system. I have seen the advanced crafting system and I would like to use that. I just need an easy way or a very good explanation of how to add many recipes to the system.

Third is the ability to add multiple different tile sets. Before when I tried to add more then one it wouldn't let me or it would go over the previous that I added.

These are the problems I always run into when I tried to use other engines. I was told to use Ace, so before I jump into it I want to be sure that I can do these things so I don't spend countless hours only to be stopped because I can't make the game completely my own, or at least more then the average game.

Any suggestions would help, thank you for your time guys.

Does the sprite thing also work for creating enemies as well?
