RPG maker is a great program. 2003 suports a side view battle system as well which alot of people seem to want these days. You can get one in the other rpg makers but it requires alot of work and extra scripts. However 2003 is suposed to be one of the harder ones to learn, though its not really anything to worry about. Most of it is pretty easy to figure out, if you did want a real easy program that could do this aswell I would recomend RPG maker VX as it is easier, and very user friendly. However its default battle system is similar to Dragon quest as you see the monsters but not your people. Almost like a first person thing, very old school.What programme should I use for making final fantasy type games?
you could build from scratch in c# and the XNA framework.
