What engine do most Japanese RPGMaker games use?

Do they mostly use MV or MZ? Especially the more high quality ones.

Yes. <- this answer is as clear as your question.

For someone else to give you a better answer - it would help to clarify the purpose of your question. That way those in the know can not only answer your question, but they can let you know if the answer is relevant or useful for your purpose. Or, if it really doesn't matter. It could be that they mostly use MV because it's been around for 8 years, and the migration over to MZ is slow. It could be that everyone jumped ship in 2020 from MV because.... (enter excuse here). Or not.

Are you looking at buying one or the other to start making games?
Are you looking at how to mod them?
Are you looking at how to rip content?
Are your looking at translator apps?
Just curious?
Other?

I'm looking at starting my one game tried MV and really like it. But MZ seems newer, but when I looked at games, even newer ones it appeared to me that MV still seems to be used mostly.

RPG Maker isn't free, so obviously creators will use the one they payed for, even years after a new version have been released.

I've bought RPGMZ + RPGMV and I still haven't even opened it. ;-;

People use still MV the most, cause MZ brings almost no difference from MV, also MV goes on sales more times then MZ, and for my point of view MZ its not worth investing.
Also there is a new Rpg maker in-development that will use Unity (no date release could be in few years) which idk how its going work now after recent drama with Unity engine, but if you want to make your own game and you own the MV version go for it, even i recently made my small game with MV.
