Intellectual Property Means Nothing On Mobile
I now remember the devs of Overgrowth had one iOS game for $10. After a year or so they released the source code. Then someone literally released the same game for $1. Scored a million dollars from it within a week.

My suggestion would be to finish a simple version with only the basic functions. Then use that to create a game to show the potential of your maker. Once that is done then start adding new features.
Anyway, some things that could be interesting to have supported by default:
- 8 direction movement.
- Enemies visible on the map instead of only random encounters.
Sadly both can be done with RPG maker and or scripts.

Don't have sticky layers, have unlimited layers. Let the game maker do what they want. Like layers 1 and 4 are under the hero. Have a drop down menu for each layer to determine if it should be over, under or the same layer. So the player can get really detailed with unlimited layers instead of having to make custom things in photoshop.
Not just that, but why use a grid system? Have a free placement system like an imaging program would have.
Without better features.... you're just remaking RPG Maker.
As for search filters. I mean with the databases. Sure you can do it for events and dialog, but it is really important with the database instead of having to remember the number and location. What happens if I want a healing spell? Why not have a filter for healing spells or items that cost more than 500?
Think better. RPG Maker has been the same since 1999 with no radically new ideas that every other game editor has.

I can put in 18 hour days of mapping, programming, and game making for RPG VX, doing 4 days a week and it still takes me about 2 - 3 weeks per 1 single hour of gameplay unless I do battles every 10 steps. Again, you've gotta have more than one person or be working for years.

Oh yeah don't forget resolution higher than 640x480. But to be honest higher resolution means you can see a 50x50 map all in one screen. That doesn't make RPGs fun... But its still something I see people complain about.
