I'm really excited. 60FPS is enough to win me over no matter what.
RGSS 2.0 will add more depth to the scripting capabilities.
The tilesets look great - I can't wait to rip them up and make them look less sqaure.
The charactersets are less than perfect - But who am I to complain, I can sprite.
Less newbies will be asking questions such as "HOW CAN I DO HAS FACES" or "I LIKE CARS HOW GET"
If used right, it has the capabilities to match the quality of old school commercial RPGs. Performance-wise, of course.

GLG, I really like your site. In fact I love it. Puts mine to shame, I haven't had time to work on it since the summer. It still has the WIP signs up. :P
Good news is, I have a Web designer & PHP programmer willing to do my site in exchange for illustrations for a novel he's writing. I'm also getting a new domain come february when mine expires.
