Introduction I have been getting a lot of questions lately about why the Yanfly Engine Plugins library offers 40 free plugins and the VisuStella MZ plugin only offers 10, ie the "Cores". This wiki article is made to draw comparisons between what the plugins do offer and what is actually in the VisuStella MZ Cores. This is an article written by Yanfly. tl;dr: The VisuStella MZ Cores are composed of way more plugins than 40 from Yanfly Engine Plugins. Look at what's inside them. What's Free from Yanfly Engine Plugins? First, let's take a look at what is considered free coming from Yanfly Engine Plugins.
