i have RPG maker 2000,2003 and XP. i really want to create a phantasy star-like RPG game, and am wondering whether using these makers or PB would be easier. how do you make a tile-based RPG map? at least with RPG maker, all you have to do is design the maps and characters. but i know with PB, creating a game core from scratch is possible. any ideas or suggestions?

To make a game RPG Maker would make it much easier, cause 90% of the work behind programming an entire game is already done.

Of course it is possible to make *any* kind of game with PB, if you check the forums, you'll find many sources and examples on how that can be made.
