What's better for an RPG...

I've been wondering which could be better for making an RPG...

Stencyl or RPGMaker 2003? You see, Stencyl is good and seems very complex but it's not exactly for RPGs. RPGMaker 2003 is for RPGs but it's old and I don't know if it will be good enough... I don't know can someone help me out here?

Well, I would say it depends on the look and feel you want for your RPG, and if this is a one time thing, or learning how to do something.

I have seen some really nice RPGs come from RPGmaker, like Generica. Stencyl is a fantastic engine for beginners though, and gets you prepared for other game genres too. If you want to learn the details of game programming, I would use Stencyl. If this is just a one time deal though, and just making an RPG for giggles, I would go RPGMaker. Also, this is my opinion, RPGMaker2003 is for retro kind of RPGS. Stencyl is for any kind, retro or new. In the end, I think it all depends on whether you want to learn how to make games, or making an RPG for fun.

RPG Maker is pretty good system to make RPG game. I can recommend it, because you're mainly focusing on GUI and your required knowledge about programming is not necessary since you can find prepared scripts to improve your game etc.
