Hey Guys,
I'm hoping this is the right section to ask this. I've been using MV for a few months now and have created some pretty simple stuff. On my next project I'd like to create something a bit different to what I've done before but I'm unsure whether or not its a possibility with the engine. Description below:
I'd like to make a game that focuses around a Hub for the main Area. Think Demon Souls, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Super Mario 64. Essentially all party changes, all quests, side quests, shops etc would be handled in the Hub (for instance a castle). From the Hub you would then embark on Dungeons after speaking to an NPC to select the quest/mission.
Is this a possibility? I'm not asking for anyone to do this for me and fully explain it out, but with my knowledge so far, it doesnt seem like 1 Npc would be able to store all the quests for the game or give you access to repeat quests.
Thanks for any help at all.
Hub for Main Game Area a possibility?

You can create almost anything if you know how. It's always been the case with rpg makers.

then the problem is not the NPC, but the quest systemit doesnt seem like 1 Npc would be able to store all the quests for the game or give you access to repeat quests.
..........or, lack thereof. -
It is!
My current project does exactly this.
I've got one main hub, where you can buy materials, restore health and basically all the stuff you expect from such a main hub.
From there you are able to select missions, and depending on what you selected, a portal appears (which is permanent, meaning you unlocked acces to that area) and by going through there, you travel to the location where you have to complete the mission for that area.
It's quite easy to set up really. I didn't really think it through when I made mine, so it looks a bit messy, but you can put it all in a single event, and even better, in a single event page!
I've got 6 missions in total now, where the last 4 get unlocked when you complete the first 2.
TL.DR:
Yes, it is most certainly possible!
