  1. When I purchase RPG Maker MV there were several downloads as well. I used my license key to upgrade from the trial version, so what are these exta installs for. The install screen for each of these say RPG Maker MV, as what they're installing, so I don't know what each specifically does. The ExtraAssets.exe install however is in Japanese. What are each of these for?  Should I bother with the Japanese one? Mostly I want to know what each installer specifically installs before installing them, but would appreciate an explanation of the resource files too.


    These install


    ExtraAssets.exe
    RPGMV_W_DRM.zip
    RPGMV_W110_Upd.exe
    RPGMV110_W_Setup.zip


    These are files


    BaseResource.zip
    RPGmakerWebPlugins.zip
    img_compressed.zip
    KadokawaPlugins.zip
    plugins.zip
  2. RPGMV_W_DRM.zip: Installer for v1.0
    RPGMV_W110_Upd.exe: can be used to update from v1.0 to v1.1
    RPGMV110_W_Setup.zip: installer for v1.1


    BaseResource.zip: the base RTP is very limited and contains only few files, these are full basic resources
    RPGmakerWebPlugins.zip: a collection of plugins created by some famous RPG Maker content creators


    img_compressed.zip: additional and/or adjusted graphics from the v1.1 update
    KadokawaPlugins.zip: optional plugins created by the developers of RPG Maker MV
    plugins.zip: additional plugins that have been added after the v1.1 update


    Can't tell you about those Extra Assets though. I hope it still helps you after two weeks :D
