So, having got a good week of tinkering, any advice to RPG Maker 3 programmers?

I have a tip. Because you can only get 100 NPCs, you may as well give lots of them battle stats. Just make sure you have 2-3 characters to participate in dialog, and use the remaining 1-2 slots to allow players to chhose their ally.

Helpful things? Hmm...

You can make an outside dungeon by using a field.
You can create various outside buildings by combining more than one together.
You can use "Elements" by replacing them by the "Vs." effects. Just have one assume the role of an element.

There are more, but can't think of them right now.

Here's a big help.

Never use the default dialogue for any character mode. Always use the event code for dialogue. It not only gives you the option to show a character portrait, but also eliminates that annoying camera spin that occurs with the default dialogue option. Plus, if you want to do any kind of alternate scripting with the event (Yes/No branches, decision branches, etc) you don't wind up with the camera snapping back behind the PC when the default dialogue has run its course, followed by whatever other dialogue.
