Nope - I just assumed that it was another of the retarded offspring of RM2K3, like RMXP is.

Seeing as it has side view battles and faces as standard, methinks I might have to give it a try. Is the Call Event feature there? You know, the one in RM2K3 that allows you to call an event within the current map? It was taken out of RMXP, which annoyed me.
