What's the difference?

Ok, I have a simple question that I can't seem to find the answer too. What is the differences between RM2K and RM2K3? Other then the year :P I've had RM2K for a while now and I really don't wanna upgrade unless it's worth my while. Can anybody tell me if there is a change log somewhere, or maybe you could tell me if there is any worth-while changes that I should upgrade for. Tnks. :)

Upgrades: Side view battle system
One more weather effect
2 more choices in the 'choosing section'
e.t.c.

There isn't really that much worth while.
But why don't you want to upgrade?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

well the battle system is better, but there are not as many sprites for the side-view system. also rm2k3 has a few little extras which make it easier to understand stuff.. don migeul's version wasn't the easiest to understand

[Sponge_Bartjuh]

nah but once you understand rm2k it's weird in rm2k3. I've been looking for ages to Fork Conditions. Sheesh, did they change it o.O

[Craig619]

yeah sponge, it was the same for me. i spent ages looking for the password and fork conditions. it took me a while to realise they are branch conditions and key input whatever.

Ok thanks, now that I have an idea I'll decide, there seems to be pros and cons, especially since I know the type of language in RM2K as well.

Actually, there are two new weather types.

Otherwise, they covered all of it. There are a few added dodads, like increased control over screen shaking and screen flashing. It's just like a little upgrade. If you want to make a PKMN game with the DBS, stay with 2000. 2k3's is side view, so it's not as Pokémon-ish.
