Buying the moment it drops, because I DO love the writing, art, and gameplay loops, so many little fun secrets to find, and talk to every NPC even if some of them don't have much to say, its something.

Thanks! Yeah, I really enjoy the RPG format, because once you have a few art assets you can easily drop in a new NPC here or there and add some more little dialog etc. It's easy to fill out the little corners of the world, and a fun thing to work on.

Also the included kinks in them really appeal to me as well.  I used to use RPG maker for years in the early 2000's, but am curious how much better its gotten over time? I haven't used it since 2008 or so.

Oh MV, which came out around 2015/2016 I think, is a huge step up from the earlier stuff. Much better gui IMHO, huge plugin ecosystem. If you want, you can basically put the whole thing up on blocks and make it whatever you like, because MV swaps from being an ordinary exe to basically just a headerless browser running a big pile of javascript. So definitionally, anything js can do, MV can probably do as well. 
MZ came out a bit later, which was more of a modest tweak to MV to improve the GUI a bit more, add a few things here and there. And then...they made it into an addon for Unity. YECH. I'm content to stick with MV.
