After reading these, I choose to use RPG MAKER MZ to do my project for two reason.

1. Multiplatform is not important for me, because I just want to make it on Window platform, while a more resources and assets in RPG MAKER MZ can be more useful for me. Higher efficiency of the editor also can make the work easier.

2. RPG MAKER MZ is the latest version for the series of RPG MAKER, which means RPG MAKER MZ is more potential and less likely to be eliminated. Compared to learn a older version, the learning of a newer version is a wise choice.
