This is an old thread, but I need to chip in here.
RPG maker is blocky, grindy, difficult, un-intuitive and kind of a pain in the ass. It's really not difficult to say "Oh shit I can put the key in the box" and fill an entire room with meaningless boxes.
The loot system is shit.
The pay-off is underwhelming unless executed to a tee.
The characterization can be sabotaged
The play style is more for mindless exploration and time wasting; the traveling is mind numbing, and then animation counter is defeatist at best.
There's no guarantee that they or you know what the fuck you're doing. Remeber the boxes? Secret doors and 100%ing enemy clearing are hallmarks of this.
The lack of a clear map is a nightmare.
>The limitations of the engine are disastrous
That's just minor gripes.
>Save locations suck
>Bosses are OP as fuck and number scaling is garbage
>The grind is atrocious
>The healing system makes me want to blow my brains out
This is just some of the major ones
