Touhou-A-Live
This game is getting severely slept on judging by the # of downloads. VGPerson has translated dozens of unique and high-quality games across multiple genres for english speakers. He first crossed my radar with his translation of Hero and Daughter for steam, which became very popular.
If you are a Live-A-Live fan, there is no need to read any farther, DOWNLOAD NOW; I never finished playing through the whole SNES original but after playing through 4 of 7 first chapters in Touhou-A-Live I have seen enough to know it is a worthy homage. Secrets and multiple endings abound. The game is stylisticallly unique, and as noted in the OP, really showcases the power and diversity of RPGMaker.
I should note the difficulty in parts of the game can be high, so consulting some resources like Let's Play TouHou a Live on youtube or this blog might be a good idea. In some respects, I am desperately hoping this game becomes popular enough to get some full English walkthrough translated, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to reach my personal goal of 100% completion. For example,I have read that the Netherworld chapter has 3 possible endings. The original Live-A-Live had hidden gems like an invisible secret superboss Mammoth (with non-guaranteed rare drops) and you can expect similar craziness. On a final note, I was not previously familiar with The Touhou Project, but after playing this game and another popular fangame The Genius of Sappheiros, I am starting to take more of an interest.

... Someone is regretting not leveling up more before challenging the secret boss.

This one was a challenge for me as well. Hint:Think about which two colors make the one next to it.
I've looked this puzzle over several times, with various color wheels as reference. I don't think I'm being unfair to call it non-intuitive. The goal of the puzzle is not clear and there are no confirmations that moving a block to any position is right or wrong.

hotta has an ability called 'smell gold' that you will need to use to be able to collect some of the objects under the rainbow
i think you can collect all underwater items once you have 8 genes and a special equipment for max - maybe post a screenshot though if you are still not finding a way

Anyone reach Dao's Prison (optional dungeon in Chapter 4)? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the 6 colored blocks in the intelligence trial.

Re: mini-games
Junior: try mashing only one key, using more than 1 key may lead to it not properly registering.
Priscilla: I am stuck on the last recipe of the 4th chef at the moment, and while I should be able to get it eventually, it is extremely tedious. There is a very annoying delay after finishing each mix before starting the next cycle that makes finishing in time very exacting - there is no room for any error or even missing half a second.
Hard Story mini-games:
There is a long section of wall tiles you climb using the mouse gene where you can be knocked off that requires fairly precise timing. It took me over 25 attempts.
EDIT: Voltage puzzle not as hard as I first thought.

I played a previous version of this game years ago (maybe more than 5 years)and it was quite a pleasant surprise to see the project resurface. This is a very deep, stylistically unique and fun game. Clearly, the developers worked on it for a very long time, and the passion is evident in everything from the music to the secrets to the humourous dialogues. Characters even need to answer a quiz to evolve, lol.
My only note of caution is that some of the mini-games are quite challenging and I think some players will not be capable of completing them. Adding a skip option would be a welcome feature, especially for the mini-games that are mandatory for advancing the main story.
I think this game would be a worthy addition to the 'featured games' list.

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy II

Thanks. I do have 1.4, just wanted to make sure the treasure I am missing isn't something I need to obsess about. I care way too much about getting 100% of items.

Great Game. Just started playing recently and I am enjoying it a lot. One question: What is the reward for killing all enemies in the mountain tower? I am pretty sure I killed everything but if the reward isn't especially unique I will just move on.
Also not sure if I will miss out on a big reward later for clearing all the dungeons.
