The Question This question has been asked for a while now. I figured we should touch upon it. The question is: "Why does VisuStella MZ's All Waves Collection library cost $100 when RPG Maker MZ itself costs $80?" Or some variation of it. Usually something along the lines of it costing more than RPG Maker MZ itself. The Answer (Short Version) That's because you're looking at the cost of an entire plugin library versus the individual plugins that come along with it. Don't look at it as one product. Instead, look at it as 50+ products (or more specifically, 63 plugins as of Wave 8). Buying the All Waves Collection is entirely optional and you could easily buy the plugins individually for $3 to $15 each or by the waves they are a part of for $25 each. Individually, each plugin costs $1.59 each (rounded) if we're going by the $100 All Waves Collection bundle or $2 to $3 each (rounded) if we're going by the Waves format (of 8 to 10 plugins each).
