List of things this video missed (or totally just left out on purpose to cut it down to 3 minutes 😛): • Selecting an animation (for skills/play animation/etc) shows a preview window for the animation you're selecting • "Show Balloon Icon" has preview for the balloon icon in question. • If you edit the JSON files outside of the editor, upon returning MZ will ask if you'd like to reload the changes. • The Plugin Manager now has an error window. It will show a message if using plugins out of defined order, or using a plugin that is not specifically targeted for MZ. • "Insert Color Index" and "Insert Icon Index" added to context menus for text inputs that can use text codes (such as: "Show Text", "Show Choices", "Show Scrolling Text", etc.). They provide dialogs allow users to select a color/icon, and will automatically inject the correlating index into the input. Let me know if there's anything else that's been missed. ~
@@LiEnby It was really weird that they crippled that function in MV. This is just speculation, but maybe they wanted to discourage people from using 'parallax' maps instead of tile-based ones. What? Linux export isn't in MZ?? That's a deal breaker for me!
Aw, you sound so sad at the end of the video. You have any idea how happy we are just to hear from you in general? Thanks for the quick comparison! I was wondering about it.

@@SomeRanDev I just checked, im currently subscribed. But if watching this video then subscribing is the key to your happyness I can unsub, watch the video again and then subscribe? XD
Just a note to anyone wondering about the 2 versions before buying: If you don't own either, buy MZ. If you own MV, maybe wait until some decent sale. Might take a while though. lol. Most of the changes have been added via plugins over the last few years anyway.
Just read this comment after asking pretty much exactly the question you just answered. They're the same price on Steam, and both say supported by Mac, but I couldn't figure out a real difference.. lol
Is it better to buy MZ? Sure, it's improved, but wouldn't the plugins already made for MV be worth it? Or has MZ gotten enough plugins for that to not really be an issue
some of the changes are so.. random! "Conditional branches now can check if the button is triggered released or pressed!" wooow they added layering to the map editor (when layering was allredy supported just no way to manually do it from the editor) downloaded some open src code for effeckseer, and slaped a fucking 70$ price tag on it .-.
Ok cool it is better and all, but I do believe this could have been just a free update, or at least a paid update or something, that is waaay cheaper. Im sure it might have some changes impossible to be made on MV, but come one, not enough changes to call it new.
Rpgmaker is where you can learn a lot and get acquainted with some possibilities...but it has its drawbacks. From the standpoint of updates, there's a lot wanting in terms of usability, flexibility with coding. It feels like an old house that keeps getting new paint jobs, when the foundation could use a lift.
I could just be trying to be optimistic here, but I don't think it's as simple as making it a free (or even paid) update. The new skill animation system could possibly have not played very well with the old one, heck, any and all of the new updates could have just not worked properly with everything that was in MV. I don't have MZ yet (And likely won't get it for a while) but I'm seriously worried about how well (or even if) all my old plugins will work with MZ. For example, are we able to use SRDude's Super tools Engine? I'm going to guess not.
They tried, which is why they rolled back RPG Maker MV that one time. The changes they made overhauled the base code and would have broke a lot of games.
I missed you. I made a game with RPG Maker MV and it wouldn't have been possible without your videos. Your videos were so fun that I even watched them after finishing the game and swearing never to make a game with RPG Maker again. If you come back to make more contents for this channel, it would be super. But even if you don't and pursue another thing, I'm sure it would be awesome because you're you.

Technically. It's just as capible as the PC Version without any added assets or plugins .. the only problem is that the UI doesn't translate well to the switch or PS4.
The simple fact that we have direct access to the different map layers once more, is enough for me to want to try it out for myself. It is a feature that should of _never,_ not *_ever_* been removed.

WTF are you talking about? What exactly is your definition of "end the game fully"? Because there are plenty of games that take you back to the title screen after beating them.
@@Animebryan2 I'm not talking about beating them, I'm talking about how when you play a game and you are finished for that day you can save then quit the game and it closes. The "Game End" option in the menu should have the option to not only take you back to the title but also fully quit and close the game itself.
Kyuzuki yeah the plugins were free for a long time. I think yanfly started charging for them last year because someone was stealing their code and claiming it as their own.

Good Overview, but a few things I'd add: Event Plugin Command changes, Get Location Info changes. There are a lot of other minor changes in event options and in the editor, but those two are the big ones I think you missed. :) Still, awesome video.

Wish I caught that before uploading.) Been meaning to make a pinned comment to update with with all the changes I missed, guess there's no better time than now. Feel free to reply with anything else I may have missed if you catch anything. 👾
Dude, THANK YOU. This is exactly the video I was looking for and it spelled out clearly the differences I was aiming to learn about w/o much wasted breath!
I know MZ has only changed a very little, but improved some things, like mapping a lot. Another plus is, you can use the tilesets, sounds, and whatever you have from MV in MZ again. Don't know about scripts, but everything else runs fine. It's a short informative video that shows all the differences, I still think it was worth the money because the mapping improved so much.
Man I almost didn't realize it was the same person you sound so down, I hope you have been doing okay. I have been watching your videos for a long time now but have outgrown rpg maker as a whole at this point, messing around with it with with my friend is one of my fondest memories in highschool though. I have a little over 2,000 hours in VX Ace almost 900 in MV. I sadly don't think I can justify purchasing MZ while it gets a lot of nice quality of life changes I just can't cope with the price point and time investment required. I'm definitely still going to continue watching your content even if you choose to move away from RPG Maker because your personality was what drew me to your channel in the first place. I hope you feel better soon man and good luck with future content I'll still be lurking and watching lol.
Thanks for the comparison i'll just use mv for now, it serves me well enough to keep developing my games as i am in the middle of making a game and was worried that it would have serious consequences to all my hard work so far.
Glad to see you back in the channel SRD xD We missed ur awesome contents! Fyi I have to thank you and your videos bc your videos are the ones that made me learn a lot about RPG Maker during this pandemic :) Thankyou dude ^^
Welcome back! Came back rght when I decided to finally start building my game too. Perfect timing. Most of what I have learned so far is from your videos. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the review SRDude. As usual Kadokawa is listening to it's customers and providing some high-quality products lol. Sarcasm aside, I don't know what language they used to code this is, but, they better release some good plugins soon or else nobodys gonna care. It needs to be at where MV left off. POINT BLANK.
I found your channel sometime 2 years ago, and was so glad I did. I saw you upload recently, and have subbed for any upcoming content you may have for us. I can't wait to see what you can teach me for MZ !! :)
Hey you're back! Thanks for the video, I told this to my research groupmates since we watched your rpg maker mv vids religiously during our baby thesis in senior high and they were surprised there's an mz now HAHA. Thanks a lot by the way, just now we received news that our research adviser is going to teach our targeted audience in school using the game we made and your videos was such a major part of the development of that game. Thank you! God bless
It's nice to see you again ! My God, I'm dying inside, this new RPG Maker looks so much better... and similar to MV at the same time... If I had known, I would have waited to buy MZ instead...
Oh wow, I just started using MV recently, and I've been watching your MV tutorials before coming here. Your voice got so deep! It's kind of jarring, but cool.
"it's been a while" ya think? i started watchin some of your older tutorials on mv and you ve been extremely helpful, n i loved the way you explained stuff. when i looked at your channel to see if you still posted, i got kinda sad to see the last video being from a year ago. nice to see you around again man
Then they couldn't charge you more and make more. It's an outdated practice honestly, and they should just do something with RPG Maker that many other main line software does.. I think unreal doesn't make you pay anything until you basically make money off of a game. For RPG maker.. i think a 4 dollar monthly fee maybe would be better.. and they could just keep developing the software.
@@Real_The_Goof I would pay a monthly fee of 5€ gladly if it meant the engine received solid updates. This system of releasing carbon copies of the last engine for 60€ (or more) is awful.
Still surprised that after all these years, they've stuck to Dragon Quest 1 and Final Fantasy 1 for the battle views. No Still no Shining Force or Phantasy Star 2/4 battle engines. I'm sure they can easily be built, but nothing out of the box? Thanks for video. I'll save my money on this one.
Hey, I'll probably never get RPG Maker MZ(or atleast till a big sale) but I just wanted to thank you for all the entertaining yet on-point tutorials you've done over the years. :)
Everything I learned on how to use RPG maker is from SRDude, I'm actually so hyped he's "back?" I hope he is. I needed this comparison honestly, and I think I might wait till MZ is on a big sale. I can live with just MV at the moment. I hope your alright man, glad to hear from you.
I miss your over-excited tone and gibbering titles and names which didn't make sense in the MV tutorial, but hey this is a great MZ intro!! Thanks for a quick update.
I have missed your videos. I really like the RPG Maker MV and have spent some money into it with DLCs, maybe someday I'll buy the MZ. I really loved your Translation Plugin and I still have one problem with it, translating the Database. My main language is Brazilian Portuguese and so is my Maker. Welcome back and congratulations for your dedicated work
Huh, I totally forgot all about this channel...oh well, great video! Gives a nice overview over things, so good job on that ^^ I havent done RPG maker stuff in years because I got into modding so I doubt Ill get this one, especially since it doesnt seem THAT different...but still nice to see regardless.
The fact that you can summarize all the "new" stuff in MZ in 3 minutes when it's supposed to be the new version of the engine is beyond sad. How is it 2020 and they still haven't updated the engine to use more than 1 core and properly use the GPU? How can they announce the "4 layers" as a new feature when they themselves removed them, even when everyone loved layers in XP and missed them in VX? This is at most, a $5 update. The worst part of it all, it's been the longest time between new versions and this is all they did.
That's something you can say to whole RM franchise, not just MZ, or MV, or VX Ace, or... anything. RM is one of the most stagnant program series ever known to me.
Bruh everyone thought he's dead and now here he is, just popping up lmao. Good to have you back, please stay safe and give us a nudge every once in a while!
Your upbeat videos and exciting MV tutorials always inspired me to keep going. I am always informed and entertained by your content. MZ kinda Womps. I get it. Running out of money. I think focusing on awesome assets would be a better money making route. This isn't Madden or FIFA. You just can't make a few updates and sell it as new and people will mindlessly buy it. Or will they?
Yeah, it's always been weird how they focus on new versions that barely change anything to make money when people are starving for assets and they could make a ton more money selling them. I guess ultimately it's easier to pay one guy to code some minor changes to RPGMaker than contract tons of artists to make assets though.
Hey i loved your MV plugins they turned me on a lot, like this saxy video and hearing your saxy voice. I'm going to update to MZ now. I am using 7 of your plug ins: pkm trainer sprite press start gameovercore retryupgrade menubackgrounds gameupgrade credits I hope they still work in rpg MZ.
I like some of these changes. They seem like such QoL changes. However these also seem like they should be part of a MV update and not a separate engine. It’ll be especially upsetting if MV scripts don’t work well in it and require a lot of tweaking.
I fell like this could have been an upgrade instead of a separate product. I own every other RPG Maker version... and feel im forced to keep purchasing which ever is newest for the new features. Going to stick with MV for now.

Then they couldn't charge you more and make more.
It's an outdated practice honestly, and they should just do something with RPG Maker that many other main line software does..
I think unreal doesn't make you pay anything until you basically make money off of a game.
For RPG maker.. i think a 4 dollar monthly fee maybe would be better.. and they could just keep developing the software.
@@Real_The_Goof I would pay a monthly fee of 5€ gladly if it meant the engine received solid updates.
This system of releasing carbon copies of the last engine for 60€ (or more) is awful.

Don't give them ideas...
Because they need money?
Money
This honestly pisses me off that it wasn't just added to MV... instead they had to get greedy and make you pay for a new engine....
... Your lack of motivation at thr end actually made me chuckle!
it's good to hear from you again dude! also how did i.... not know that this released?
Still surprised that after all these years, they've stuck to Dragon Quest 1 and Final Fantasy 1 for the battle views. No Still no Shining Force or Phantasy Star 2/4 battle engines. I'm sure they can easily be built, but nothing out of the box?
Thanks for video. I'll save my money on this one.
gotta admit, that little "subscribe" at the end got me. XD
welcome back and thanks for the video :)
It's great to hear your voice again. Amidst all these 2020 BS.
ur rpg maker mv tutorilas were so helpful! thanks! subscribed
Hey, I'll probably never get RPG Maker MZ(or atleast till a big sale) but I just wanted to thank you for all the entertaining yet on-point tutorials you've done over the years. :)
Omg ... Your still alive ... Very informative video dho.
Everything I learned on how to use RPG maker is from SRDude, I'm actually so hyped he's "back?" I hope he is. I needed this comparison honestly, and I think I might wait till MZ is on a big sale. I can live with just MV at the moment. I hope your alright man, glad to hear from you.
I miss your over-excited tone and gibbering titles and names which didn't make sense in the MV tutorial, but hey this is a great MZ intro!! Thanks for a quick update.
Are you planning to come back? I miss the videos so much. They were great!! :)
Unfortunately he's too busy eating Oreos to come back
I have missed your videos. I really like the RPG Maker MV and have spent some money into it with DLCs, maybe someday I'll buy the MZ. I really loved your Translation Plugin and I still have one problem with it, translating the Database. My main language is Brazilian Portuguese and so is my Maker. Welcome back and congratulations for your dedicated work
I just watched this after coming from your MV tutorials, WOW your voice is different!
My GuyZer! You're back! Glad to see you mate!!!
It seems the tileset going a bit stale since VXA. :(
The leap from 2003 to XP is still the most prominent to this day.
Good to see you again, fellow game dev!
Thanks. Now I can safely wait to buy MZ until a discount.
if you are only gonna use it for yourself and for your friends you could just pirate it Lmao.
Huh, I totally forgot all about this channel...oh well, great video! Gives a nice overview over things, so good job on that ^^ I havent done RPG maker stuff in years because I got into modding so I doubt Ill get this one, especially since it doesnt seem THAT different...but still nice to see regardless.
I miss your content, thanks for coming back with the new rpg software 👍
will your plugins still work with RMMZ? @SRDude?
From MV to MZ no plugins work directly unfortunately.
I just wish they made a 3d rpg maker. So i can build my assets in 3d studio max and import them in instead of 2d
MV3D Plugin
The fact that you can summarize all the "new" stuff in MZ in 3 minutes when it's supposed to be the new version of the engine is beyond sad. How is it 2020 and they still haven't updated the engine to use more than 1 core and properly use the GPU? How can they announce the "4 layers" as a new feature when they themselves removed them, even when everyone loved layers in XP and missed them in VX?
This is at most, a $5 update. The worst part of it all, it's been the longest time between new versions and this is all they did.
there are people who might not have liked MV but like this
That's something you can say to whole RM franchise, not just MZ, or MV, or VX Ace, or... anything.
RM is one of the most stagnant program series ever known to me.
Why only 1 core and no proper gpu support..
Because... Html5
Where were u all these days 😔💖 I missed u so much 🙌
Hey...!! You are back...!! Love your videos. :D
Thanks SRDude, been a while. ^^
Bruh everyone thought he's dead and now here he is, just popping up lmao. Good to have you back, please stay safe and give us a nudge every once in a while!
Welcome back SRD xP Glad you're back in the game of things.
Thanks for the video! Very useful.
oh cool, features MV should have had!
Wow, 5 years of developing really payed off!! Great job rpgmakerweb!!
...
-_-
Will you begin making new plugins or at least remake your original MV plygins for MZ???
Nice video, I was waiting for.
Lol i watched your mv tutorials. I was looking for a video like this.
Your upbeat videos and exciting MV tutorials always inspired me to keep going. I am always informed and entertained by your content. MZ kinda Womps. I get it. Running out of money. I think focusing on awesome assets would be a better money making route. This isn't Madden or FIFA. You just can't make a few updates and sell it as new and people will mindlessly buy it. Or will they?
Yeah, it's always been weird how they focus on new versions that barely change anything to make money when people are starving for assets and they could make a ton more money selling them. I guess ultimately it's easier to pay one guy to code some minor changes to RPGMaker than contract tons of artists to make assets though.
Your posting again, yay!
$20 we arent gunna hear from him for at least another month... *sigh :[
time to remake all plugins!!
Nice to see you are back, always thought you were a cool dude, not sure if you remember me but I sent you a picture of my cat one time on Twitter
Thank you for uploading a video to put my eyes on.
Same time in 2 years?
Hey i loved your MV plugins they turned me on a lot, like this saxy video and hearing your saxy voice. I'm going to update to MZ now.
I am using 7 of your plug ins:
pkm trainer sprite
press start
gameovercore
retryupgrade
menubackgrounds
gameupgrade
credits
I hope they still work in rpg MZ.
Ah, bless you. Now I know MZ isn't worth my money yet as a casual RPG Maker user. I'll wait for a sale. Thanks a bunch for the quick video
I like some of these changes. They seem like such QoL changes. However these also seem like they should be part of a MV update and not a separate engine. It’ll be especially upsetting if MV scripts don’t work well in it and require a lot of tweaking.
MZ = MV + some built-in YanFly plugins
also, welcome back dude :DD
I fell like this could have been an upgrade instead of a separate product. I own every other RPG Maker version... and feel im forced to keep purchasing which ever is newest for the new features. Going to stick with MV for now.
