it is just distracting during the game. you hit a trigger and all the sudden the cursor pops up, then when words are over it disappears. i am not doing choices in dialog, just messages popping up, but i like the way the message box looks with vn 1. i can work around it. it's just like doors and enemies and such only being on the first floor. it's the way the engine works, that's cool. i have done some cool stuff with other floors, it's just about level design and working with the engine. limitations make you creative, that is why retro games are all better than the modern AAA stuff in my opinion. they had to get real creative back in the day to work with limited hardware and resources.
